Liberty Double Eagles
1852-O $20 XF45 PCGS. Variety 1. No New Orleans double eagle is plentiful in Mint State, but the first three emissions from the Louisiana branch mint are refreshingly collectible in XF and AU grades. When the San Francisco Mint became operational in 1854, gold deposits at New Orleans declined significantly, and double eagle production dropped proportionately. This 1852-O twenty was likely struck with California gold. It is well-detailed and has hints of luster in the protected regions. Surface chatter is consistent with the grade.
