Lot 1882
1864-S. PCGS graded EF-40. Nice golden toning increases the interest in the San Francisco Mint issue from the time of the great American Civil War. Out West, fifteen hundred or more miles from the action, the public, although following the war news closely, was mostly unaffected by the events going on between the North and the South. California, being a hard money state, used the big $20 gold pieces extensively in commerce. Paper money was shunned in The Golden State (PCGS # 8942) .
Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,850.
The William H & Beuelaress K. Helem Collection.
