Lot Description

The mintage for this issue is 982,000 pieces and likely, many 1870-S twenties were sent overseas later in the decade as part of the United States' international commerce. Repatriated examples account for most of those surviving today. This handsome About Uncirculated example offers pleasing honey-gold and pale pink colors on surfaces that reveal ample luster as the coin rotates under a light.
