1859 Twenty Dollar, MS60
Absolute and Condition Rarity

1859 $20 MS60 PCGS. The low mintage of only 43,597 pieces ensures the 1859 will be challenging to locate, and that is what collectors have found to be the case over decades of forming collections. It is the rarest P-mint Type One in terms of overall rarity and the rarest in higher grades, according to Doug Winter. This is a well-detailed example whose surfaces are not as heavily abraded as usually seen on this rare issue. The mint luster is frosted, as one would expect. Only 250 to 300 examples of this date are believed known in all grades, but a mere six to eight Uncirculated pieces are believed extant. Population: 1 in 60, 4 finer (3/22).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269A, PCGS# 8926, Greysheet# 9795)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
