Liberty Double Eagles 1859-S $20 AU58 NGC. The West Coast

Liberty Double Eagles
1859-S $20 AU58 NGC. The West Coast branch mint struck 636,445 double eagles in 1859, making the 1859-S the most accessible twenty dollar issue of that year. Examples are seldom seen high grades, as specie was used extensively in Western commerce. Uncirculated pieces are rare. This is a lovely, problem-free near-Mint twenty with peach-gold surfaces and crisp strike definition on the stars and wings. A trace of friction and minor marks are undistracting. NGC shows 26 submissions in better grades (6/23).
