1865 Judd-453 Copper $20 Pattern NGC PF66 BN

Tied for Finest Known! A Liberty Head $20 struck in Copper. Very Rare.

For the Type I $20 or Pattern Enthusiast comes this extraordinary 1865 Double Eagle struck in Copper with the motto “In God We Trust” already on the coin before it was implemented on regular U.S. coinage the following year. 

It is one of only a few known to exist at all, and at the Gem level becomes especially desirable. Of course, this example is Tied for Finest Known with extraordinary color even in the “Brown” designated category. If this coin was struck in gold it would set you back hundreds of thousands of dollars.
