1857-S $20

Description

1857-S AU 58. An exceptional, top-notch example of the issue, with lovely, pink-gold colorations and lots of original mint luster. Like most Type One double eagles, this date takes a huge jump in price as it moves from AU to the mint state grades, so it will be interesting to see at which end of the spectrum this piece finally sells. We predict that the final selling price will be much closer to the mint state price. A remarkable coin that is destined to grace any advanced collection.
