Lustrous 1856-S Double Eagle, AU58

1856-S $20 AU58 NGC. Prior to the discovery of the S.S. Central America and several other shipwrecks, the 1856-S was virtually impossible to locate in Mint State and was scarce in About Uncirculated. Nonetheless, it remains difficult in grades finer than the present piece. Charming yellow-gold patina endows the surfaces of this crisply defined piece. Scattered abrasions limit the grade, but none are of any significance. NGC has certified a mere 32 examples finer (7/08). (Registry values: N1793)
