1854 KELLOGG & CO. TWENTY DOLLARS - KAGIN 1b

Obverse of 1854 Kellogg & Co. $20 - Kagin 1b Reverse of 1854 Kellogg & Co. $20 - Kagin 1b

Rarity: Rare

Variety Equivalents: Breen 7917

Notes:
Obverse - "KELLOGG & CO" is close to being centered on the coronet (unfortunately, Kagin illustrated this variety with an example with "KELLOGG & CO" high on the coronet). The date is called "thin" on this variety and distinguishes itself from Kagin 1a by having a ball on the 5 of the date.

Reverse - short arrowheads. Identical to the reverse of the 1853 Moffat & Co. $20 (and may, in fact, be the same die).
