Near-Mint 1855-S Liberty Double Eagle

1855-S $20 AU 58 NGC. Although numerous 1855-S double eagles were found with the S.S. Central America, demand for this issue remains strong, especially among high quality type collectors. The present example offers some Mint State characteristics (nicely frosted surfaces and bold overall definition) for a more modest sum. Both sides are moderately abraded, but there are no singularly distracting features. An orange-gold example.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
