Liberty Double Eagles
1851-O $20 AU53 NGC. Variety 2. Luster brightens the legends and motifs of this sun-gold and olive-gray early double eagle. Most circulated twenties are abraded due to a large diameter and soft alloy, but the present piece is surprisingly void of blemishes and has attractive eye appeal. The advent of the U.S. Assay Office in San Francisco undoubtedly diminished the influx of gold bullion to New Orleans.
Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 3/2012), lot 4185.
