Description

1868-S Liberty Head Twenty, AU55

1868-S $20 AU55 NGC. While the 1868-S double eagle is an available date in AU55, Mint State examples are rare. Currently, NGC has graded 33 coins in all Mint State grades, while PCGS has certified only 14 Uncirculated examples (6/10). Prospects for improving on the technical grade of this attractive AU55 specimen are accordingly dim. The present coin shows light wear on the obverse stars and Liberty's hair, but most original detail is still present. The greenish gold surfaces display ample mint luster and only a scattering of handling marks.(Registry values: N1793)
