Liberty Double Eagles
1857-S $20 AU53 PCGS. Variety 20F. Ex: S.S. Central America. SSCA 4662. A charming caramel-gold representative with smooth and partly lustrous surfaces. Variety 20F is the "No Serif, Right S" reverse variety, indicating the mintmark was entered further right than usual, and the U in UNITED lacks a left serif. Variety 20F was apparently struck prior to Variety 20A and Variety 20B, since most examples are lightly circulated, and comparatively few were recovered. Accompanying the lot is a forest-green Blanchard box, a faux Ship of Gold book, and a certificate of authenticity signed by Tommy Thompson of the Columbus-America Discovery Group.
