Thickly Frosted 1868 Twenty, MS61
Scarce Type Two in Mint Condition

1868 $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. The 1868 is an elusive Type Two issue, especially in high grades. But when found in Uncirculated condition it tends to be an attractive coin because of the thick mint luster that usually accompanies these pieces. Such is the case here. Additionally, there are remarkably few abrasions for a Type Two twenty, which are normally found heavily marked. The surfaces are orange-gold and the strike is remarkably strong, both are characteristics normally seen on this issue. The two major services combined have only certified nine pieces in MS61 with four finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
