Lot 1758
1904 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Rich golden toning. Bright rolling-fresh finish, bright as when first issued, awash in originality. Difficult to find this way. Soft-edged devices and lettering throughout the centers are sometimes seen on this Type 3 issue; however, a percentage of this year's production is found with full convincing detail, detail to be called "bold" and this is one such coin. Gorgeous! (PCGS # 9045) .
Historic note: Two events occurred in 1904 (among many), the first of which is when Henry Ford set a new automobile land speed record of 91.37 mph. Remarkable, when you consider it. The other, more tragic, was The Great Baltimore Fire in Baltimore, Maryland in February 1904 that destroyed over 1,500 buildings covering some 140 acres in 30 hours.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
