Liberty Double Eagles
1853-O $20 -- Tooled -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Variety 1. Of the somewhat obtainable New Orleans issues from the 1850s, the 1853-O is a bit more challenging than either the 1851-O or 1852-O. Just 71,000 pieces were struck. This example shows signs of tooling on the obverse, with faint vertical lines in the right-hand field and on the portrait indicating an attempt at surface improvement. AU definition remains across both sides, which retain traces of mint luster.
