1892-S. PCGS graded MS-65. An especially appealing condition rarity at the lofty Gem level, most survivors seen show considerable handling marks and field scuffs, thus lower grade assignments. No so on this carefully preserved specimen as the surfaces are mint-fresh and highly attractive without the usual myriad surface distractions so often seen. Liberty's cheek and neck are clean and smooth with a frosted appearance which contrasts lightly with the satiny fields. Rich honey-golden patina lends a fully original appearance to this carefully preserved Gem. This piece is included with a select group as one of the top examples seen by PCGS excelled by just four pieces at that service. Pop 17; 4 finer in 65+. (PCGS # 9021) . Estimated Value $30,000-UP. Categories: $20 Liberty/With Motto
