Description

Appealing 1856-S Twenty, MS62
From the S.S. Central America

1856-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. Variety 17L (No Serif, Tilted S). SSCA 5502. The U in UNITED on the reverse lacks its upper left serif, and the large S mintmark is tilted to the left at the top. Far fewer 1856-S double eagles were recovered from the Central America than of the 1857-S, a fact well-represented in the respective PCGS populations. The 1857-S double eagles are available for a price up to MS67, and more than 4,000 have been certified in Mint State at PCGS. The 1856-S coins show 245 Mint State coins at PCGS, with the considerably higher prices reflecting that dichotomy. For this variety specifically, PCGS has certified seven coins in MS62, with a single MS63 finer (3/10). The piece shows typical orange-gold coloration, with a nearly full strike and some minor, scattered abrasions that account for the grade. The eye appeal is excellent.(Registry values: N2998)
