Territorial Gold
1854 $20 Kellogg & Co. Twenty Dollar -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. K-2, R.4. Long Arrows. Two obverse dies are known to have been struck in tandem with the Long Arrows reverse. Kagin-2 shows CO centered directly under the beads, while Kagin-2a, presumably struck after this variety, shows CO centered between the beads. These Kellogg twenty dollar gold pieces are highly sought-after as mementos of the Gold Rush period, when private firms stepped in to satisfy the commercial needs of frontiersman by supplying circulating coinage. This piece, while hairlined from improperly cleaning, shows needle-sharp central detail and light yellow-gold color. Listed on page 402 of the 2017 Guide Book.
