Impressive 1857-S Liberty Double Eagle, MS 66 PCGS

1857-S $20 MS 66 PCGS. 20A. Spiked Shield. Ex: S.S. Central America. An all but blemish-free Gem, both sides radiate a frosty, golden-rose sheen with captivating cartwheel effects. There is not a single ill-defined feature, and the eye appeal is commensurate with the assigned grade. Accuracy alone compels us to mention a small planchet void (as struck) in the obverse field, as well as another (also as produced) on Liberty's coronet near the LI in LIBERTY.
