Description

Gem 1857-S Twenty Dollar

1857-S $20 MS65 PCGS. This twenty is not specifically attributed to the S.S. Central America, but there are few other logical origins for an MS65 example of this famous Type One issue. The color, too, is similar to many of the better Central America coins, bold sun-yellow with orange overtones that are strongest at the margins. The central detail is impressive, and only a couple of the stars show softness. The scattered wispy marks visible on the obverse are entirely grade-consistent, and an abrasion to the left of Liberty's nose is the only flaw warranting individual mention.(Registry values: N4719)
