Description

Richly Colored Near-Mint 1857-S Double Eagle

1857-S $20 AU58 PCGS. Although this coin is not attributed to the S.S. Central America hoard, it bears a strong resemblance to those survivors, with bold luster and lovely, rich reddish-gold coloration. Only faint high-point rub separates this piece from a Mint State grade, and abrasions are minimal. An attractive example of this historic issue.(Registry values: N1793)
