Judd-1413, Pollock-1556,
Rarity: High R.7, PR63, CAC Endorsed.
Ex: Denali Collection.
Struck in aluminum with a plain edge
Obverse:
The obverse is similar to the regular Seated Liberty twenty cent piece, but the date is smaller and LIBERTY is incuse on the shield, rather than raised.
Reverse:
The reverse is also similar to the adopted design, but the end leaves of the olive sprig overlap, and there are several other minor variations.
