Description

Premium Quality Near-Gem 1896-S Twenty

1896-S $20 MS64 PCGS. This gorgeous example just misses the Gem grade, as it is presumably held back by just a few small surface abrasions on Liberty's cheek. Otherwise, this radiant example is fully lustrous and well-struck with an above average appearance for the grade. Although a common issue in lower grades, this S-mint production is very scarce at the present grade level and is prohibitively rare any finer. Population: 74 in 64, only 1 finer (10/03).(#9030) (Registry values: P3, N3960)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CG, PCGS# 9030, Greysheet# 9957)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
