Description

1885 Twenty Dollar, AU Sharpness
Highly Sought Low-Mintage Issue
Just 751 Pieces Struck

1885 $20 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. This low-mintage date is in demand regardless of its numeric grade (or lack thereof). Light marks dot the surfaces of this vibrant orange-gold example. As noted on the holder, the coin shows evidence of cleaning -- in this case polishing -- with scattered, feathery hairlines on the reflective surfaces that may have been buffed to their create their prooflike sheen. Quite likely, the coin was prooflike before any cleaning took place. The end result is an overly bright coin that maintains moderate eye appeal. The full strike from the circulation strike dies remains intact. Only 751 circulation strikes were produced.
