Description
Important 1859-S Twenty, MS60
1859-S $20 MS60 PCGS. CAC. An extremely difficult date to locate, as it was trapped between treasures. The S.S. Central America sank in 1857, and the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic both sank in 1865. There were few 1859-S twenties in either of the latter two treasures. Olive patina resides on the high points of this frosty yellow-gold example. The surfaces have numerous tiny marks, but none deserve individual discussion. Population: 5 in 60, 30 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269C, PCGS# 8928, GSID# 9896)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
