Liberty Double Eagles
1851-O $20 AU53 NGC. Variety 2. Some reflectivity in the fields complements a general lack of heavy abrasions on this unusually eye-appealing New Orleans double eagle. The coin is well-struck and displays the typical yellow-gold hue common to New Orleans and Philadelphia issues struck prior to 1854, when much of the gold bullion used for coinage came from California. Only slight high-point wear is present. Finer examples of this O-mint double eagle will be challenging to acquire.
