Delivering some 300,000 twenty-dollar gold pieces from February 9, 1854 through 1855, the firm of Kellogg & Co. helped bridge the gap when Californians were awaiting the official opening of the San Francisco Mint. As such, it ranks with Moffat & Co. and the United States Assay Office of Gold as one of the most important private minting establishments of the California Gold Rush. This suitably bold NGC-certified AU survivor from the firm's 1854 issue exhibits bright honey-gold color with wisps of iridescence pinkish-rose. Moderately marked with a curious texture that combines glossy and subdued qualities, although the quality is eminently collectible in a privately issued $20.
