A CHOICE AU Type 1 double eagle struck just before the outbreak of the Civil War. Warm and attractive olive gold surfaces show just light friction from circulation and some related contact marks. Accents of surviving mint brilliance clings to the protected areas. None of the contact marks are distracting from the wonderful originality of the surfaces, nor impacting on the visual quality. PCGS 151, NGC 211, CAC 36. The most recent PCGS AU55 CAC sold in auction a decade ago, realizing nearly $5,000. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $3,750 and we expect that this impressive example will surpass that when it crosses the block. PCGS/CAC gold is one of the most in demand areas of the market today, and original, classic Liberty Head twenties are always popular. Good luck. Cert. Number 42652998 PCGS # 8929
