<B>1853<$20> Assay Office Twenty Dollar, 900 Thous. MS63 NGC.</B></I> K-18, R.2. Lustrous and bright, both sides exhibit rich, yellow-gold coloration. A few scattered contact marks serve to limit the grade, the most notable of which is a small dig in the obverse field under the A of STATES. The powerful strike is free of criticism. Although this issue is the most readily available Double Eagle that the U.S. Assay Office of Gold produced in 1853, it is not an easy coin to locate with this much pleasing eye appeal. This lot clearly represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced territorial gold collectors.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
