Description

1859-S $20 AU 50 PCGS. Usually only found in VF or XF, the 1859-S is a conditionally scarce issue in AU condition in spite of a hefty original mintage of more than 600,000 pieces. A fair amount of mint luster remains around the devices and there are only the small abrasions present that one would expect from a coin that has seen ten points of circulation.
From the David & Jeannie Cheung Collection.
