Description
Mint State 1879-S Twenty Dollar
1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. This yellow-gold Type Three double eagle might grade higher except for the numerous abrasions, large and small, that dot the obverse. Some semiprooflikeness appears on that side--but much more prooflikeness appears on the reverse, which appears clearly to be a first strike from a fresh new die. Even on the reverse there are numerous abrasions, but the bright mirrors and intense cartwheel luster compensate in large degree.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B9, PCGS# 8991, GSID# 9932)
