Description

1853 Moffat & Co. Twenty-Dollar XF 45. K-19, High R.5. The 1853 Moffat $20s should properly be considered as an Assay Office coin, as Curtis, Perry and Ward, under an agreement when Moffat retired, were allowed to use the old Moffat & Co. name on subsequent coinage. This is a surprisingly well defined coin that also shows small portions of original luster still around the devices. The green-gold color is lightly accented by pale red, and the surfaces show a number of larger abrasions on both the devices and in the fields, marks that are usually seen on these large denomination pieces. Listed on page 268 of the 1994 Guide Book.

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 10255, GSID# 11815)
