Description

1894-S $20 MS62 PCGS. This San Francisco issue had a high mintage, in excess of a million pieces, and many were no doubt shipped overseas; with most probably going to European banks to be stored for many decades. A sufficient number have been returned to the United States to make this a reasonably common issue in grades up to and including MS63. This example displays swirling mint luster, boldly struck design elements, and surfaces that have only a few blemishes. A possible candidate for an upgrade to MS63. (Registry values: N1793)
