Description

Near-Gem 1898-S Twenty
An Available Type Three S-Mint

1898-S $20 MS64 NGC. The 1898-S is an abundantly available Type Three S-mint twenty. And yet, its upper-end availability is usually limited to the MS64 grade range. This is a pleasing, lustrous example that has even, reddish patina over each side. The striking definition is strong over both obverse and reverse, and the only mentionable mark is located just below the eye of Liberty.(Registry values: N1793)
