Description

1857-S $20 AU55 NGC. Both sides have reflective surfaces with bright yellow and orange-gold color. Minor hairlines are evident, as are a few scattered contact marks. The reverse has a small lump on the rim below the mintmark, perhaps a rim break, although we cannot be certain while the coin remains in its holder. Prior to the discovery of the S.S. Central America, this date was mostly available in the VF to XF grade range. It is unknown whether or not this particular coin came from the shipwreck.(Registry values: N1793)
