The 1872-S $20 boasts a decent mintage for the series of 780,000, however, due to a lack of collector interest in 1872, high-end examples are rare with the finest being MS64.

This piece features a bright and nearly untoned skin with the lightest green-grey tints around the peripherals. Usual chatter for the grade is visible, but no marks are of individual significance. The advanced gold specialist will recognize this as an important offering! - Liberty Head $20
