Lot Description

Ex Simpson, as noted on the insert. How cool is this? A $20 Liberty in aluminum! WOW! This coin is a high R-7 (4-7 minted). These "off metal" die trials were made for VIPs and sold in sets. This is a MAGNIFICENT example, the FINEST KNOWN. Wicked deep mirrors beam boldly from all over. The mirrors exhibit strong clarity and are clean. Only when using a strong glass and looking around can you find a small line or two. They are hard to find. This coin is that close to PR67! The contrast is bold. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick standout frost. The eye appeal is mind blowing! PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the FINEST graded. In 2005 this coin as a PR66 Cameo sold for $35,075-again that was in in 2005! In the 2021 Simpson sale, this coin brought $44,400. Why isn't this coin worth at least $100,000? A gold $20 1870 PCGS PR66+ Cameo would be worth $500,000+++ if one even existed! We think a coin like this is such a great value. Opportunity knocks so loud it can't be ignored! Cert.
