Lot 2851
1853 U.S. Assay Office $20 Gold, 900 THOUS. NGC graded MS-60. Scattered marks and some bumps around the borders. A satiny gold specimen with faint golden zephyr-like wisps of iridescence on both sides. Nicely struck for the date, certainly much finer in the centers than most Territorial issues. The rims are somewhat problem-plagued, and there are a fair number of slight abrasions from circulation, but the extremely bold relief on the eagle with its arrows and shield are what first catches attention. Worthy of strong bidder participation (PCGS # 10013) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
