Liberty Double Eagles
1853 $20 AU58 NGC. Type One double eagles are without exception scarce-to-rare in Mint State, making About Uncirculated coins the grade level of choice for many collectors. This near-Mint 1853 has the flash of a Brilliant Uncirculated coin and less "chatter" than many lower-end Uncirculated examples. A crisp strike covers the central motifs, stars, and legends. We note a pair of reeding marks on the neck and numerous light abrasions, but no other marks of significance. Nearly full luster remains beneath frosted, yellow-gold surfaces. NGC reports just 55 numerically finer pieces (10/17).
