Lot 1708
1850. PCGS graded EF-45. Well struck and untoned. This is the first year of issue for the new denomination of the "double eagle" or $20 gold coin. With the discovery of vast gold fields in California, the new denomination made sense, and these large gold coins became a standard for banks quickly. Of course they remain popular with collectors today as well (PCGS # 8902) Estimate Value $2,700 - 2,800
