1853 $20 Liberty. 3 over 2. AU-55. Cracked out of an NGC holder where it was graded AU 55 and noted as the overdate on the insert. Diagnostic lump under the R of LIBERTY, and traces of the 2 are visible with a glass in the lower portion of the 3. One moderate scrape in the field below the fifth and sixth stars. We do note a few rim bruises on the reverse, one above the E of AMERICA, the other below the D of TWENTY D. Most of the luster was diminished during brief circulation, and although noted by Breen to be extremely rare, current PCGS Population Reports show the population is about ten percent of the survivors of this date.
