Lot 1594
1851 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck and untoned. Semi reflective surfaces. Likely a first strike from new dies, just estimating from the details and the reflective quality of the fields. The surfaces are vivid brilliant gold in hue and drenched in luster, while the facial profile of Liberty is in stark relief and nicely capped off by smooth satiny frost. This gives a gentle two-tone appearance. In addition, the coin possesses a nice, clear-cut strike for all areas with outstanding detail at the hair and eagle; only a few stars at the top are less well impressed by the dies. There is a short mark below the eye as well as one or two very minor marks in the reverse field that require no further mention. A handsome early Type 1 No Motto twenty. Pop 46; 13 finer; 11 in 63; 2 in 64. (PCGS # 8904) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
