Description
Prized 1854 Large Date Twenty, AU58
Much Rarer Than the Small Date
1854 $20 Large Date AU58 NGC. CAC. The 1854 Large Date issue
constitutes a small part of the total mintage of 1854 double
eagles, 757,899 coins. Perhaps as few as 10% of those coins,
according to some estimates, are the scarce Large Date variant.
Garrett and Guth make the interesting comment that "this is an
issue that an astute collector could possibly cherrypick, as many
are unaware of its rarity."This near-Mint State coin offers orange-gold color with significant remaining luster, despite a hint of rub in the fields. The strike is sharp throughout, with no obvious or detracting marks.(Registry values: P6)
