NOTE: Great American Bank was an American savings and loan association based in San Diego. It was founded in 1885 as San Diego Building and Loan Association, the first S&L in Southern California. Until the 1980s, it operated for decades as San Diego Federal Savings and Loan Association. Federal regulators seized and disbanded the bank in 1991. Before the company was split apart, Great American had 213 offices operating in California, Arizona, Washington, Montana, and Colorado. The bank was bought out by Washington Mutual in 1996. NOTE: The 1885 Liberty Head $20 Gold Coins are quite scarce, as less than 700,000 were ever made and far fewer than that survive today. Gold coins, including the Liberty Head $20 Gold Coin, were mainly used in the West and used during large transactions, most often banking related.
