Lot 4242
1853 U.S. Assay Office $20 Gold, 900 THOUS. PCGS graded AU-50. Lot of frosty mint luster for this grade. An extraordinary fresh appearing example in all respects, the luster is still quite evident and unyielding except in a few places on the high points and scattered areas in the fields. Meanwhile, light peach-orange toning highlights the soft yellow-gold frost on both sides. The strike is more than adequate for an Assay Office of Gold $20 Territorial if not exactly bold on a few of the components of the eagle and shield. Still, as bold as most seen, even the Mint States. Scarce. Desirable. And an opportunity for the bidder (PCGS # 10013) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
