Lustrous AU53 1859-S Twenty

1859-S $20 AU53 PCGS. This double eagle issue from the early days of the San Francisco Mint was heavily circulated as a whole, though certain individual pieces, such as this AU53 coin, served in commerce only briefly before their withdrawal. While the soft strike gives this piece an initial appearance of a more worn example, the moderately abraded surfaces retain impressive yellow-gold luster, a better clue to the coin's actual status.(Registry values: N1793)
