Attractive 1866-S Motto Twenty, Unc Details

1866-S $20 Motto--Cleaned--ANACS. MS60 Details. Mint State survivors of this issue--despite the large mintage of 842,250 coins--are rare, especially in the higher grades. The typical survivor of this first post-Civil War S-mint issue circulated extensively, averaging only Choice XF even for the certified coins that presumably form the top grade range of all pieces extant. This piece has attractive golden-orange color with a few abrasions on each side, none too severe. The luster is a bit diffuse from an old cleaning, but much appeal remains. The strike is decent, save for bluntness on the lower obverse stars.(Registry values: N4719)
