Lot 1144
1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. $20 Gold. PCGS graded EF-45. Here is an extremely rare coin, only 15 have been graded by PCGS, with this in the mid range of 5 graded as such by PCGS, and 5 are graded higher (best is AU-55). The surfaces of this piece are quite pleasing for the grade, there are some minor hairlines from circulation, and a shallow scratch behind Liberty's head. On the reverse, we note minor weakness in the strike on the upper left corner of the shield. Many collectors have never even seen one of these, and the opportunity to purchase one is often measured in years. Examine this one closely and see if it would fill the bill for your collection.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 16,000.
No provenance information included, but likely purchased in the 1950s or 1960s with the balance of this collection.
