Liberty Double Eagles
1850-O $20 AU50 NGC. Variety 1. Ex: Eureka Hoard. Brassy, greenish-gold color blankets the attractive surfaces of this desirable New Orleans twenty. Myriad small marks and minute chatter cover the surfaces, yet there are no distracting large marks or deep abrasions. A golden glow of remnant mint luster exists beneath the natural coloration.
The 1850-O is typically found in XF or lower grades, with About Uncirculated examples scarce and Mint State coins decidedly rare. Any Type One New Orleans double eagle from the 1850s is a prize for the collector. The mintage of 141,000 pieces circulated extensively in the South, and relatively few pieces survive any finer. The holder notes this piece was part of the Eureka Hoard, although the real source of the "hoard" is nebulous and undocumented in the literature. Census: 36 in 50, 127 finer (3/17).
