1902 $20

Description

1902 PR 40. A circulated proof example. Unfortunately for them (and for us), some poor soul lost this coin, spent it, or had it stolen and it ended up in circulation. Back when proofs were worth $100 or so, the monetary tragedy was not so great; today, now that proofs are worth tens of thousands of dollars, we lament the loss of value that just a few points of wear can cause. Nevertheless, this is the perfect coin for someone who has always wanted to own a proof double eagle, but could not afford a nice one. One of 114 struck.
