Description

High-End 1883-S Twenty, MS63

1883-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Although well over 100 examples of the 1883-S are certified at PCGS in MS63--less duplications, as always--that service has certified only 11 coins in MS64. Abrasions are usually the culprit, as these large, heavy, soft coins were frequently stored and shipped carelessly in bank bags. This piece displays glorious cartwheel luster over mellow orange-gold surfaces, with lots of eye appeal. A high-end coin for the grade.
