1892 $20 MS66 NGC. The 1892 is a well-known and highly respected issue in the Type Three series. Only 4,523 pieces were produced in business strike format with another 93 proofs struck. The rarity and value of this issue is such that the mintmark has been removed from 1892-S coins in the past. It is reliably estimated that some 130-140 coins are extant today in all grades. The majority of survivors are in XF-AU condition, and Mint State coins are quite rare, especially so above MS62. The 1892 is generally seen with numerous and heavy abrasions, which makes this coin all the more special. This piece is similar in overall texture and appearance to the 1976 ANA example; however, the pedigree identifiers on that coin are not an exact match for this one. Fully struck, as usually seen, with complete radial lines on the stars and fully defined hair detail on Liberty. The fields are fully and deeply prooflike on each side, this coin apparently being one of the first struck from the new (polished) dies from this year. Additionally, the devices are heavily frosted with the result being that both obverse and reverse have a pronounced cameo effect. Minimally abraded as mentioned above, especially for this issue, with the most obvious abrasions being several marks located in the left obverse field and a speck of coppery color out in the field in front of the juncture of the throat and neck of Liberty. Very rarely offered with this degree of technical merit and equally rare with this amount of aesthetic appeal. Population: 3 in 66, 1 finer (11/03).

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.
