<B>1878 $20 MS64 NGC.</B></I> Though this early Type Three issue is readily available through higher circulated and even lower Mint State grades, the challenge rises rapidly as one ascends the Mint State scale. Garrett and Guth (2006) describe the population as " ... heavily weighted to the MS60 and MS61 grades. Choice examples are scarce, and the date is unknown in [G]em condition."<BR> On this near-Gem survivor, the obverse offers a wonderfully frosty appearance, while the reverse showcases more straightforward brilliance. The fields are primarily wheat-gold with whispers of peach and green at the margins. Though light luster grazes and marks appear around the devices, the portrait is surprisingly clean, and the overall visual appeal is impressive. Tied for the finest certified by either NGC or PCGS (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
