Description

Vibrant Near-Mint 1856-S Twenty

1856-S $20 AU58 PCGS. Not specifically provenanced to a source, though the intense yellow-orange luster is suggestive of the S.S. Central America coins, and this date was considered elusive in higher grades prior to that shipwreck discovery. Scattered wispy abrasions through the fields lead to moderately marked devices that show slight friction. Population: 33 in 58, 46 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2692, PCGS# 8919, GSID# 9864)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
Mintage: 1,189,750
