Kellogg & Company’s 1854 $20s appear to have been struck using left over dies from Curtis & Perry’s issue of 1853-dated Moffat $20s. Multiple positional varieties exist. All K-1s use a short arrows reverse die either matching or similar to that used to strike the Moffat & Company pieces. Somewhere between 180 and 220 examples exist for all 1854-dated varieties. The finest specimen is a gem uncirculated example, and original, attractive mint state examples would qualify for the condition census. 30 examples were recovered from the S.S. Central America.

Somewhere between 180 and 220 examples exist for all 1854-dated varieties. The finest example is a Gem Uncirculated coin, and original, attractive Mint State examples would qualify for the condition census. Thirty examples were recovered from the SS Central America. A unique specimen striking K-1 exists that traces its provenance back to Augustus Humbert.
