Stunning Two-Toned 1875-S Twenty
MS62, With Extensive Die Lapping

1875-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Lovely color alternates deep orange-red with areas of greenish-gold on this stunning piece. The strike is sharply executed, and there is little evidence of contact. Light field hairlines determine the grade. The reverse shows extensive signs of die lapping, with major portions of the design elements faint or missing altogether. Note the middle arrowhead, completely missing its shaft, or the eagle's lower right (facing) feathers, detached from the wing. PCGS has certified only 16 pieces finer (7/10).
