Liberty Double Eagles
1855-O $20 XF45 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. Once the San Francisco Mint began operations in 1854, there was no longer a reason to ship California gold to New Orleans for coinage. Mintages at New Orleans and at Philadelphia declined substantially. Double eagle coinage at New Orleans averaged 180,000 coins per year from 1850 to 1853, and just under 11,000 per year for the next four years, including 8,000 pieces in 1855. This Choice XF example has lovely orange and pale blue patina on its rich yellow-gold surfaces with scattered, inconsequential circulation marks. Population: 16 in 45 (1 in 45+), 20 finer. CAC: 5 in 45, 1 finer (3/17).
