Liberty Double Eagles
1850-O $20 XF45 NGC. CAC. Variety 3. Ex: Eureka Hoard. The mintmark is high and touches the tailfeathers, one of three varieties that make up a mintage of just 141,000 pieces. The 1850-O represents the first branch-mint double eagles from the inaugural year of regular issue for the Liberty Head twenties -- one of the few reasonably collectible New Orleans Type One issues, although scarcer than the 1851-O and 1852-O. This example displays deep apricot-gold surfaces with traces of orange luster in protected areas. Numerous small marks and field chatter do not detract from the overall appeal of this original and pleasing, CAC-endorsed example. CAC: 15 in 45, 16 finer (10/16).
