It is the first us currency twenty dollar gold piece ever struck and has survived 165 years in excellent condition. It is a coin that most numismatists have over looked and have totally not known of this coins most amazing facts, which puts it in a category of its own. It is of my opinion that this coin is greater than any coin ever listed in the top100 greatest coins of all time. I am very familiar with most all of them and I have seen the 1804 silver dollar in the Smithsonian collection, along with the 1849 model twenty dollar gold piece which was never us currency. It does not have a business line that follows it, making it one of two models that were made. That’s all they truly are a model. They were struck as proofs with a different pressure and multiple strikes to achieve their look, making the probability of their grade being lower less probable. This makes them not as rare as a coin with a higher ratio probability which is the case with the 1850 twenty dollar ms64 DMPL. Remember it started out as a planchet and just happened to be the first in line to get its strike on the new plates. This alone tells you this coin hit the lottery by rare chance to be what it is today, as well as even existing after 165 years. This is how many days; multiply 165 by 365 and don&#039;t forget the leap days, which you find by dividing 165 by 4. On top of surviving, it survived in what I call immaculate presentation viewing appeal.</p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
