<B>1853 $20 Assay Office Twenty Dollar, 900 Thous. MS62 NGC.</B></I> K-18, R.2. Assay twenties, although routinely listed under the category of private or territorial gold coins and private partners (Curtis, Ward, and Perry) were contracted to produce them, neither is technically correct. More than 2 million pieces were struck under authorization from the United Assay Office of Gold and they soon became the workhorse gold coins in Gold Rush San Francisco. This uncommonly well preserved example is only minimally abraded and is notable for appealing reddish accents. Listed on page 352 of the 2007 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
