1857-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. Spiked Shield. Variety 20A. SSCA 1112. The intense luster that flashes across each side of this near-Gem is its most compelling attribute. Most of the design elements appear to be completed with razor-sharp precision, except for the eagle's talons on the lower reverse. A few minor abrasions limit the grade, and one or two of these are noticeable on each side. A lovely survivor that suffers minimally from well over a century underwater. Comes with outer box, faux-book case, and certificate of authenticity. Population: 53 in 64, 29 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
