Still-Lustrous AU53 1870 Twenty

1870 $20 AU53 PCGS. While this date's Carson City counterpart gets most of the attention, the Philadelphia version is quietly elusive, an understated challenge to date collectors. This lightly circulated example has remarkably reflective lemon-yellow fields and well-defined devices. Wispy lines and a few sharper marks combine to account for the grade. Population: 21 in 53, 64 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26A7, PCGS# 8957, GSID# 9807)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
Mintage: 155,150
