Lot 2552
1856-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61 PQ. Lovely satiny and frosty mint surfaces. Far fewer marks than one would expect for this grade. There is some contrasting brownish "rubbed gold" accent on the cheek and topmost hair waves. All stars are outstanding for their crisp detail. Possibly part of the S. S. Central America group of Double Eagles, this 1856-S bears no similarity to the more granular surfaces that are an indication of the "saltwater" Uncs from the Fort Capron treasure ship. Thus, much more desirable because the luster is fresh and gleaming (PCGS # 8919) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
