Choice AU 1856-S Double Eagle

1856-S $20 AU55 NGC. A surprisingly bagmark-free Choice AU representative that displays shimmering luster within the reverse design. A number of lightly circulated 1856-S twenties were recovered from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. The present piece was probably not among them, since traces of green residue above Liberty's eye suggest previous longtime collector provenance.(Registry values: N1793)
