My earliest date $20 Liberty to date has been an 1873 but found this 1857 AU/53 CAC certified coin so I had to make it mine, here’s a couple of pics.
Really nice. And it's not a ss republic salvage so it has beautiful surface. Once it was not the most common type 1 date. I remember trying to buy an old green label pcgs cac au55 and underbid it
It was an important pick up for my collection, have been looking for a pre civil war $20 liberty for some time and this fits in great with my collection
Think of all those 1950's and 1960's TV Western shows we all watched in primetime or in reruns...whenever they mentioned gold coins or more specifically DEs, they were talking about coins like this.
