Description
Rare 1892 Twenty Dollar, AU53 NGC
1892 $20 AU53 NGC. This is an important issue for its low mintage and low population. Just 4,523 coins were minted and only a small percentage of these survive today. Walter Breen suggested that between 16 and 20 business strikes survive, in addition to 18 to 22 proofs. Giving a different opinion regarding this issue, Douglas Winter believes that 130 to 140 examples are known. Whatever the figure, the AU53 specimen offered here is a rare opportunity for the advanced gold specialist. Luster is found around most of the design elements, which reveal nice definition. The surfaces are an apricot-gold, and reveal a few light to moderate contact marks, mostly on the obverse. Population: 8 in 53, 58 finer (10/04).(#9019) (Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26C5, PCGS# 9019, GSID# 9827)
