Guanajuato, Mexico, gold 20 pesos, 1872 S, NGC MS 66, finest known in NGC census. KM-414.4. Out of currently 615 Mexican gold 20 pesos coins of any date and mint in the NGC census (struck 1866-1905, including the Maximilian issues of 1866), only two are MS 66 and one is MS 66+, none finer, which places this finest-for-the-date piece (mintage 18,000) within the top 0.5% of all NGC-graded examples, a staggering honor for such a classic and popular type! This status is well deserved, as this coin's strike is flawless and its fields are almost all satin-smooth, with brilliant cartwheel luster, all in a lovely, rich gold color. A quick scan shows that no other 20 pesos of this type above MS 64 grade has sold publicly since 2018. For the Mexican numismatic connoisseur who can afford the best!
