Description

1880-S Twenty, MS63
Quite Scarce in This Grade

1880-S $20 MS63 NGC. Small Squat S mintmark. Mike Fuljenz recommends the 1880-S in his 2015 Type Three double eagle reference, and notes that European findings have slowed to a trickle. In the Select Uncirculated grade or finer, the 1880-S has always been rare, and no change in that status is expected anytime in the future.

This obviously original piece displays natural olive-rose color with some deep-gray vault grime on the high points. Abrasions are limited to shallow busyness in the left obverse field and a scrape on Liberty's chin, accompanied by numerous microscopic marks on the cheek. The strike is crisp and sharp as expected for a San Francisco Type Three twenty. Census: 7 in 63, 4 finer (11/17).
