Description

Radiant Near-Gem 1888-S Liberty Twenty

1888-S $20 MS64 NGC. The 1888-S is a fairly available S-mint Type Three Liberty, but the MS64 level is just about the top end of the certified population. Only in the past couple of years has a single Gem been certified at NGC. This near-Gem boasts radiant cartwheel luster as its chief attribute. The frosty surfaces have mellowed to a deep, rich orange-gold patina, and the scattered marks are few for the grade. Census: 29 in 64, 1 finer (11/09).
