Liberty Double Eagles
1851-O $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. The mintmark slightly to left of center over N, a die chip in front of Liberty's eye, and a die crack connecting tops of TED of UNITED confirm the variety. The ample mintage of 315,000 pieces ensures the ready availability of the 1851-O through XF. AU examples are scarce and Mint State specimens are rare. This Choice AU coin displays apricot-gold color and traces of luster in the recessed areas. Some light striking is noted in Liberty's hair and the obverse stars, which is typical for the issue. Distributed light marks are not detracting.
