Lot 1146

1853 U.S. Assay Office $20
Gold, 900 THOUS. NGC graded MS-62. Here is a sharply struck coin
that has satiny gold luster throughout and clean surfaces for the grade. No
troubling weakness to be found, and the surfaces are quite delightful. Rare
thus, and NGC has graded only 28 this high, with 11 in the MS-63 category, and
at the top we note 7 as MS-64 by that service. A popular and early design for
the Territorial issues, this one is certain to please the specialist. In NGC
holder #111649-001. Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
