Liberty Double Eagles
1851-O $20 -- Cleaning -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Variety 1. New Orleans double eagles were struck for the first dozen years of the double eagle denomination, and again in 1879, but a majority of the issues are rare. Type set demand from Southern collectors pressures the most available O-mint dates, coined between 1850 and 1853. The present sun-gold twenty shows only a trace of wear on the wingtips and shoulder curl, but the surfaces are hairlined and somewhat bright.
