Description

Borderline Uncirculated 1861-S Twenty

1861-S $20 AU58 NGC. Ex: Richmond Collection. Friction is present on the wingtips and on Liberty's eyebrow and hair highpoints, but this boldly struck piece has glimpses of luster throughout the exposed fields. Scattered small marks are typical of these large gold pieces. Although not a low mintage issue, the 1861-S was requisite for commerce in the hard money west, and most pieces are in XF and lower grades. Relatively few survivors can match the extent of mint luster and the eye appeal of the present representative.(#8935) (Registry values: N1793)
