1869 Liberty Twenty, MS62
High-Quality Prooflike Specimen

1869 $20 MS62 NGC. The 1869's moderate availability makes it a desirable issue for a Type Two twenty. It is sometimes located with a strong strike, which is quite unusual for any Type Two. When usually encountered, though, it is seldom found finer than an upper-end AU. The average grade for 1869 twenties from our data is AU50.7. The present piece soars far above this median grade and ranks among the finest known. Not only is this piece sharply defined on Liberty's hair, but the surfaces are minimally abraded, a quality infrequently seen on any 1869. Perhaps the most attractive feature of all is the brightly reflective prooflike fields on each side. Not only are the fields mirrored, but the frost on the devices sets up a modest cameo contrast. This is an exceptional 1869 twenty and far above-average for an example of the Type Two design. Census: 4 in 62, 1 finer (8/11).(Registry values: N4719)
