Description

Well-Defined 1879-S Twenty, MS61

1879-S $20 MS61 NGC. Like many of its fellow Type Three San Francisco twenty dollar issues, the 1879-S was heavily minted but also heavily used, and Mint State coins are genuinely elusive today. This MS61 example has a number of shallow luster scrapes and a few more serious abrasions on the portrait, yet the overall eye appeal is pleasing.(Registry values: N1793)
