详细说明: FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION Ex Eliasberg-Simpson Collection, as noted on the insert. The 10th Edition Judd plate coin. An important GEM 20 cent pattern issue, with a pedigree that goes back to the turn of the 20th century. William Barber's "Sailor Head" obverse is mated with a reverse with a union shield with a large incuse 20 in the center. Arrows and olive branches flank it, toped by a spray of rays. Struck in silver with a plain edge, this is a low Rarity-6 issue. Deeply and beautifully toned, a classic Eliasberg look.
