Dazzling 1889-S Twenty, MS63

1889-S $20 MS63 PCGS. This well-struck piece offers dazzling greenish-gold borders complementing orange-gold centers, with the usual bold strike and lots of luster topping off the ensemble. As with so many Type Threes, this issue is available in this grade for a price, but coins at the next grade higher are elusive indeed. This coin, however, is definitely at the top end aesthetically, and worthy of strong bidding as such. PCGS has certified only nine pieces finer (11/09).
