Lot 2038
1854 Kellogg & Co. $20. Eliasberg. NGC graded MS-61. The Red Book plate coin. Lots of mostly small abrasions as nearly always found on these huge creations, a couple of larger marks on Liberty's face, and a gash on the C of CALIFORNIA in the reverse legend (these identify it as the plate coin). The strike's not perfect, but the immediate impression is of a well-made coin, for Liberty is extremely bold, as is the date. The old-gold color is lovely to behold, as well. In all, an important and historic coin from the West when it truly was the Wild Wild West. Worth a lot of attention and a good winning bid!
