Description

1927-S Twenty, MS62
A Scarce and Highly Respected Semikey Issue

1927-S $20 MS62 NGC. Falling between the easy availability of the 1927-P and the million-dollar rarity of the 1927-D, the 1927-S follows a comparative middle path; it is clearly a melt rarity, far more elusive than a mintage of over 3.1 million pieces would suggest, yet it remains accessible to more than just a handful of collectors. This MS62 representative offers strong sun-yellow luster with light orange overtones in the patination. Slight striking softness and minor, scattered abrasions have surprisingly little impact on the eye appeal, though a few marks in the rays below the eagle are clearly visible. Census: 37 in 62, 40 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N7079)
