Description
The 1857-S $20 is the single most available Type One Double Eagle and is perennially popular as such. A mintage of 970,500 anchors the issue and provides availability for collectors today. This is a popular shipwreck date as the S.S. Central America was carrying a majority of this date (over 5,000 were recovered). Frosty medium golden surfaces feature the lovely and typical tangerine coloration that most SSCA recovered examples boast. The eye appeal is brilliant! 20C, Narrow Serif variety. - Liberty Head $20
