Elusive MS61 1879-S Twenty

1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Most 1879-S twenties are seen in XF and AU grades, and despite a high mintage this issue is actually quite scarce in Mint State. Abundant luster enhances the straw-gold surfaces. There are a number of small bagmarks on each side, but none are noteworthy. The details are crisply defined. PCGS has certified 54 coins finer (7/10).(Registry values: N1793)
