Description

1858-S Twenty Dollar, MS62
Bright, Golden-Yellow Surfaces

1858-S $20 MS62 PCGS Secure. CAC. Medium S. While there were no 1858-S twenties on the S.S. Central America (since it sank in 1857), there were 68 examples of the 1858-S on board the S.S. Republic. Unlike many of those salvaged coins, which were heavily abraded, this piece displays bright golden-yellow surfaces and pinpoint-sharp strike definition. We do not see any abrasions that are remotely worthy of mention, just a few wispy marks over the high points that are visible under a light at one angle and then disappear when tilted at another angle. Population: 1 in 62, 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 62, 0 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2699, PCGS# 8925, Greysheet# 9894)
