Lot 2530
1874 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Lovely light golden toning on the obverse. With bright golden patina elsewhere on the devices and throughout the fields. Clear-cut devices point to it having been giving a full strike by the dies. The strong detail is especially noteworthy on the reverse, where, on occasion in some dates of the Type 2 especially the branch mints, the design can be mushy. Bowers (2004) suggests a Mint State survival of 150 to 250 pieces, but the PCGS census seems to come up short. Perhaps the 1874 is scarcer than many suppose. Pop 13; 4 finer; 3 in 63; 1 in 64. (PCGS # 8970) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
