Description

Better Date 1879-S Twenty, MS61

1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1879-S is practically unattainable above the MS62 level, although NGC and PCGS combined have certified more than 800 pieces as AU58. It appears that most of the issue went into commerce instead of bank vaults. This sharply struck and satiny example has original apricot toning and the expected number of distributed abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
