<B>1867-S $20 AU55 NGC.</B></I> The focus of gold coinage at the San Francisco Mint in 1867 was clearly on the double eagle, produced to many multiples of the quarter eagle, half eagle, or eagle. Despite the double eagle mintage exceeding 900,000 pieces, however, while some of the smaller gold 1867-S issues are unknown in Mint State, the 1867-S twenties are merely very rare in Mint State. As of (3/08) only 30 coins at both services were graded MS60 or finer. This Choice AU example boasts lovely deep orange-gold coloration, with a relative absence of singular abrasions. The strike is somewhat soft, but much appeal is present.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
