Exquisite MS66 1857-S Twenty
Ex: S.S. Central America

1857-S $20 MS66 NGC. Ex: S.S. Central America. Variety 20A, the "Spiked Shield" reverse. A beautiful yellow-gold Premium Gem with a splendidly smooth reverse and a clean portrait. Potent luster sweeps this sharply impressed example. Given its quality and appearance, it is difficult to believe that the present coin spent more than a century on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. A large number of '57-S twenties emerged from the S.S. Central America holdings, but most of those pieces are in decidedly lesser grade. A wonderful Type Two representative.(Registry values: N7079)
