Liberty Double Eagles
1851-O $20 XF45 NGC. Variety 1. The yellow-orange surfaces of this lightly circulated O-mint double eagle retain a surprising amount of flash. The strike is slightly above-average for the issue, with solid definition on a handful of obverse stars but softness on the rest. Numerous wispy marks and a handful of more significant abrasions appear on Liberty's cheek and in the fields. Of the 315,000 pieces struck for this early double eagle issue, only a small fraction survive today.
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 3713.
