ASSAY $20 900

Description

1853 Assay Office Twenty-Dollar, 900 Thous. MS 60 Possibly Repaired. K-18, R.2. This is a very attractive Assay twenty that is fully lustrous and shows only minor surface abrasions. The above disclaimer of "Possibly Repaired" should scare off a number of bidders and reduce this piece to a very affordable price range. The "Possible Repair" appears to have been done to the rim of the coin at about 9 o'clock (as one looks at the obverse). Nothing is apparent as one looks straight on at the piece. Listed on page 267 of the 1994 Guide Book.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# ANHD, PCGS# 10013, GSID# 11696)
