Lot 4223
1853 U.S. Assay Office $20 Gold, 884 THOUS. ANACS graded Sharpness of AU-50 details, net EF-40, damaged. This one looks like it was recovered from a shipwreck or something similar. The edges have some dents, one above the first S of STATES, another above A, a large one at the base of the obverse and a dig below the Y of TWENTY. On the reverse there are more bumps and the central lettering has marks from contact with something heavy. The surfaces show some hairlines but all the devices are sharp and clear. A coin to be inspected as the problems noted are not that uncommon to these large, soft gold coins.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
