Description

1853/2 Twenty Dollar, AU58

1853/2 $20 AU58 NGC. FS-301, formerly FS-008. Both sides show considerable luster, but the obverse has quite a bit of field chatter and grayish haze on the high points. Although the obverse die lump beneath the R of LIBERTY is not visible, there is considerably more "busyness" at the bottom of the 3 than on most examples of the overdate where the die lump does show. Examination of other examples in our Permanent Auction Archives shows a progression of the die bulge from faint to prominent, so we believe some examples could lack it altogether, as here. Mint State examples of the overdate are quite rare, with only eight such pieces certified at NGC and PCGS combined (6/09).(Registry values: N2998)
