1851 San Fran State of California $20 provenance? 0

[RobertJC]

I recently purchased this 1851 State of California $20 gilt and am looking into its provenance. I found it in Heritage auctions in 2018 and 2020 but nothing before that.

Since it is unique in gilt, I am wondering if anyone on the forum has any knowledge of this particular coin.

Thanks

I have no particular knowledge but I have seen the holder before somewhere and can vouch for its authenticity.   

P.S.  Nice catch! Lovely gift!

Thanks, its a great coin. I am very interested in the provenance of my collection and this one is surprisingly difficult to track down.

Hopefully someone on the forum can help out.
