Liberty Double Eagles
1855-S $20 AU55 NGC. CAC. Medium S. Although unattributed as such, this Choice AU No Motto double eagle has the look of one of the 304 1855-S twenties recovered from the S.S. Central America and appears to be SSCA Variety 14D. Frosty luster issues from lilac and orange-gold surfaces that house a number of small, unimportant marks. The motifs are boldly struck for the type, including fully star radials and crisp feather definition. A couple of digs occur around the obverse. CAC: 21 in 55, 43 finer (12/16).
