1859 P$20 Twenty Dollar, Judd-262, Pollock-307, Gilt, Low R.7, PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. Anthony Paquet's seated figure of Liberty faces left on the obverse supporting a fasces with her right hand and a shield with her left. An eagle is standing behind the shield. The reverse is from the same die as regular issue 1859 twenties. Struck in copper and gilt with a reeded edge. There are six or possibly seven examples of this Paquet twenty dollar pattern that have been traced, according to Saul Teichman. This is one of two that have been gilt. Each side showcases lovely orange-gold color, satiny luster, and razor-sharp detail. The only overt imperfections are two tiny digs in the field left of the fasces. A few other tiny marks appear elsewhere, but none of them are major.
