Liberty Double Eagles
1856 $20 AU55 NGC. CAC. Per Winter's doubleeaglebook.com, an excellent online reference for No Motto twenties: "The natural color seen on higher grade pieces ranges from medium green-gold to lighter orange-gold. Less often, examples are seen in a medium yellow-gold hue. The collector should be able to find an 1856 double eagle with natural color but such coins are becoming harder to find with the passing of each year." Here is such a coin with partly lustrous, orange-gold surfaces and strong motifs. Rare with CAC approval, and one of the scarcer Philadelphia issues from the decade.
