Very little wear, all the high points look good, nick to the rim and all though not relevant to the grade not a super well stuck example. I want to say it was cleaned or dragged across a counter. AU-50 with a note about cleaning.

Reading Rob Turner's write up about the 20 cents now and according to Rob's figures only 7,342 escaped the melting pot thats about 1% of original minting.  Die records show that there were approx 52 OBV and 68 REV working dies does any one have a list showing each 1 or not? I think thats right?

No one in the past had the money or the energy to study Twenty Cent die pairings. Yet another part of Canadian numismatics that has gone begging. Rob Turner may be right about the amount of survivors ,but there are still lots as compared as to the amount of collectors out there . We currently have twelve pieces , both certified and raw in our inventory ,and I am by no means a bigger dealer. Fascinating issue for sure, with tons of study potential.

AU50-----I would give a solid AU55 if the two neck creases were more distinct. Love the detail on the main braid.
