Description

Significant 1927-S Twenty, MS 60 PCGS

1927-S $20 MS 60 PCGS. Although alloy spots are encountered with alarming regularity on examples of this issue, the present BU survivor is free of any disturbances to its orange-gold color. There are scattered abrasions, all of which are consistent with the grade. In sum, this is a well struck coin whose eye appeal would do justice to a higher grade. The relatively high mintage (3.1 million pieces) 1927-S owes its rarity to widespread melting during the Depression, and it is one of the ten scarcest issues of this type.
From the David & Jeannie Cheung Collection.
