Gorgeous Gem 1857-S Twenty

1857-S $20 MS65 NGC. Likely of S.S. Central America origin, as are the vast majority of Gem examples for this Type One issue, though the present piece is not certified as such on the holder. The 1857-S, due to its availability via shipwreck representatives, has become the issue of choice for type collectors interested in the earliest variety for double eagles. The yellow-gold surfaces are vibrantly lustrous with occasional elements of wheat and sun close to the rims. Exactingly detailed and beautifully preserved with a single mark to the left of star 13 on the obverse as the only singularly mentionable flaw. Census: 70 in 65, 24 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
