Lot 2517
1860-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-60. Nice orange mint color. A satiny coin whose richly imbued luster graces the frosty pale golden surfaces, a most difficult year to find in Mint condition since most must have reached circulation. Nicely struck for the 1860 P-mint as well, indeed, about as fine as this Type 1 issue is ever found. James Longacre would have loved this one! Longacre designed the Liberty head motif in 1849, and was still alive in 1860 when he likely supervised the preparation of the dies that struck this very coin. Pop 8; 20 finer; 8 in 61; 10 in 62; 2 in 63. (PCGS # 8931) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
