Description

1857-S $20 AU55 NGC. The 1857-S was the most plentiful date recovered from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. Flashy luster fills the fields of this medium-yellow representative. Scattered abrasions define the grade and all are minor. The hair above Liberty's forehead is weakly defined, as often seen, but the rest of the details are bold.
