Lot 1758
1857 $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Nicely toned. Beaming choice luster spreads energetically like a golden fire storm across the satiny, largely brilliant surfaces of this near-Mint State Type 1 Double Eagle. A flicker of light gold highlights the uppermost hair on Liberty’s likeness, with comparable splashes throughout the reverse. Normal light field abrasions consistent with these large soft gold coins. The obverse stars, which mostly complete, stand out in shallow relief against the frost surroundings. However, sharp centers on both sides. Pop 110; 41 finer (PCGS # 8920) .
Estimated Value $2,900 - 3,000.
