Description

Attractive 1868-S Twenty, AU55

1868-S $20 AU55 NGC. A common theme among San Francisco double eagles of the 1860s to 1880s is the combination of high mintages and low survival rates. Nearly every coin minted in those years entered circulation, being worn, damaged, or melted. This piece is far finer than the typical example that grades less than AU50. It has faint pink overtones on green-gold surfaces with considerable luster. Light abrasions are typical for these coins.
