1868 Twenty Dollar, MS61
Scarce, Low-Mintage Type Two Issue

1868 $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1868 is the scarcest Philadelphia Mint Type Two twenty, a fact underscored by its low mintage of only 98,600 pieces. Only one other P-mint in this short series (the 1871) has a mintage below 100,000 strikes for circulation. Predictably, the 1868 is a condition rarity with most examples known in the XF-AU grade range. Uncirculated coins are especially challenging. PCGS has only certified eight other coins in MS61 with four finer (6/21). This piece exhibits the usually seen frosted mint luster and surprisingly few abrasions (for the grade as well as the issue).
