Liberty Double Eagles
1851-O $20 AU53 NGC. Variety 2. The fields of this desirable O-Mint twenty retain a large amount of lustrous prooflike surface for the grade, with equally exceptional eye appeal. Abrasions are less severe than often seen, with no heavy marks and a relatively clean cheek on Liberty. The 1851-O joins other early New Orleans double eagles as the only readily available examples of the Type One design from the Southern Mint. Vibrant and reflective canary-yellow surfaces display orange-gold patina on the high points and sharp definition on the motifs.
