1881 $20 Liberty NGC AU50
<b>1881 &#36;20 Liberty. NGC graded AU50.</b> The 1881 twenty is a widely recognized, low mintage &#40;2,199 pieces&#41; rarity, the first in a run of seven briefly minted dates from the Philadelphia mint. Nearly all known survivors, of which there are around two dozen, are in the Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated range. Even Proofs, of which 61 coins were struck, are more likely to be located than an About Uncirculated business strike.

Light honey gold with some underlying luster. Typical surfaces for the grade, with scattered marks on both sides from its short use in circulation. However, the luster is there around the devices and on some of the highpoints. Furthermore, a Mint State designation have doubled the price required to buy it.

KEY DATE 1881 DOUBLE EAGLE, NGC AU50 <b>&#40;PCGS # 8994&#41;</b> <i>
