1853 Assay Office Twenty Dollar
900 Thous., K-18, Choice AU

1853 $20 Assay Office Twenty Dollar, 900 Thous. AU55 PCGS. K-18, R.2. The 900 Thous. 1853 twenty was the final issue from the United States Assay Office of Gold, struck shortly before the doors were closed in favor of the pending San Francisco Mint. The K-18 mintage was significant, struck from a number of hubbed dies, but most were eventually melted, and the variety is scarce relative to early Federal S-mint issues. This sun-gold representative shows light wear on the fletchings, but cartwheel luster is apparent. Less abraded than usual, although a few thin marks near the ED in UNITED merit passing mention. Listed on page 395 of the 2017 Guide Book.
