Liberty Double Eagles
1852-O $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. This is a better-struck example of one of the few obtainable New Orleans double eagles. Only the lower obverse and reverse display moderate softness. Myriad wispy marks cover light yellow-gold surfaces. Glints of luster shine from the hidden areas of the design. The 1852-O is exceedingly scarce in Choice AU condition and very rare in Mint State. Of the 190,000 pieces struck, many were shipped overseas and melted.
