1858-S Twenty Dollar, AU 55 NGC

1858-S $20 AU 55 NGC. Unlike the 1857-S, the 1858-S was not widely represented in the S.S. Central America hoard. Consequently, there are only 15 Mint State examples certified by both NGC and PCGS (11/00). An obviously important Choice AU representative, this coin displays a bright, orange-gold sheen with traces of original satin luster. Sharp striking definition enhances the overall eye appeal, but a pinscratch is noted in the obverse field before Liberty's portrait.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
