    USA huge 1885 $20 Liberty Head, 1 ounce Gold Coin: One of the most sought after Gold coins. A massive Gold coin one ounce weight. San Francisco Mint and 1885 is a better date. Condition very nice for a gold coin, which being very soft gets bag marks and handling marks very readily.
    If I could be bothered wasting the months of time and high costs of to and from Reg'd post to USA to get it slabbed I'd be confident it would rate MS62 or better. ! - $A2,150

    The coin was at retail at $2150 and looks though it may have had a light polish sometime over the last 140 odd years
