1869-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Lightly toned. Frosty, minimally abraded surfaces offer average to slightly better than usual sharpness for this S-mint date. Both sides are layered with delicate rather than booming luster. This date is obtained with relative ease up to and including AU58, but the supply dwindles once the Uncirculated level is breached. As seen in the following census, only a couple of dozen examples in its grade, and a few better representatives are known to exist. Pop 26; 14 finer, 9 in 62, 5 in 64 (PCGS # 8956) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
