<B>1871-S $20 MS63 PCGS.</B></I> The date is repunched, although the only vestige of the initial logotype is the base of an errant 1 to the left of the base of the 7. The 1871-S is an important conditional rarity. Despite the generous mintage of more than 900,000 coins, few examples today are found in the higher Mint State grades. The average example grades about AU55 due to some recent repatriations of bagmarked coins from overseas hoards. This piece shows attractive yellow-orange surfaces that boast unencumbered luster. Lightly abraded overall with concealed contact on the shield and nose tip. The strike is sharp, and the overall appeal is undeniable.
