Near-Mint 1870-S Twenty Dollar

1870-S $20 AU58 NGC. The reverse of this near-Mint example is remarkably clean and seems to be free of high point wear. Both sides display details that are well defined. The obverse exhibits light wear and a few minor abrasions. This issue had a relatively high mintage of nearly 1 million coins, but most were exported or destroyed, according to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, leaving few Mint State survivors for collectors to pursue.(Registry values: N991)
