Lot Title:
|
1920-S NGC MS-64.
|
|
Description:
|
1920-S becomes an expensive semi-key date in grades above MS-64, making that grade level an attractive alternative for the collector whose funds are not unlimited. Delicate silver-pearl patina predominates across this coin, yielding to a slightly mottled streaky effect in the right obverse field, and the strike is better than average for an early branch mint issue. No major blemishes are obvious, though a series of abbreviated scrapes obscures part of Liberty's hand and offers the primary grade determinant. This coin offers fine luster that is commensurate with the grade.

1920-S PCGS MS-63.

|
Pronounced mulberry-grey patina enriches both sides, but probably subdues the luster to an extent. Strike quality is decent for a branch mint coin of the 1920s, and most abrasions are predictably... |

This specimen displays a good deal of luster within the shielded portions of its design elements. Exquisite peripheral crimson and blue toning frames its central satiny surface quality. Lightly... |
