Description

Gem 1916-S Twenty Dollar

1916-S $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1915-S and 1916-S are two midseries issues that--a serendipity for collectors--can occasionally be found in Gem and even finer grades. This Gem 1916-S offers bold cartwheel luster with attractive yellow-gold surfaces turning to orange-gold on the lower obverse. Daubs of mint-green appear on the reverse, and the high-point abrasions are mostly trivial, except for some on Liberty's legs.
