Lot 3102
1859-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Nice original toning with a few light surface marks and some on Liberty. A pleasing No Motto Double Eagle this is, and one whose lustrous surfaces exhibit mingled medium reddish gold to light golden color. Well struck too, and fully so, since the stars show their full radials, which merits mention here. Desirable Type 1 issue from the San Francisco Mint. There is every reason to believe this coin was struck from bullion deposits brought in directly from California's gold rush fields (PCGS # 8928) .
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,550.
