Description
Type 1's have a bit of the romance of the old west associated with them. There were 5,000+ 57-S that were part of several shipwreck recoveries making it the most easily attainable Ty 1 $20. This is not a shipwreck coin and like most of these has some abrasions on the surface but not bad for a 45. There is semi-PL reflectivity on both sides, especially the reverse. The star points are all fully struck as are many type 1 20's
