Description
Lustrous 1859-S Twenty, AU58
1859-S $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Despite a high mintage, the 1859-S is scarce and highly desirable in near-Mint or Mint State grades. NGC has only certified 21 finer examples (3/10). The issue came after the loss of the S.S. Central America, but far enough before the loss of the S.S. Republic and S.S. Brother Jonathan that few examples were found in either of those treasures. This pleasing green-gold example has exceptional luster with hints of pale rose toning.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269C, PCGS# 8928, GSID# 9896)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
