Lot 2039
1854 Kellogg & Co. $20. PCGS graded AU-58. Kellogg answered to the many pleas of local merchants to "supply the vacuum" of much needed gold coinage in the San Francisco area. Coinage began in February of 1854. Here is a splendid example, with a full, rounded cheek on Liberty, and mountainous curls under her crown. The fields and devices are far cleaner than normally encountered. Obviously, this coin was saved while most others were spent countless times, and banged up by time and circulation. If you have been searching for a really exceptional Kellogg Twenty, then look no further than this lot.
