Impressive MS60 Prooflike 1857-O Twenty, Ex: S.S. Republic

1857-O $20 MS60 Prooflike NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. In his second edition of Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, Doug Winter lists seven distinct Uncirculated pieces in his informal census of 1857-O double eagles, with an additional listing of the eighth Mint State coin in the combined certified population. Since publication, no new Mint State examples have surfaced (1/08). The present coin, number 6 on the list, has gleaming, distinctly reflective yellow-gold surfaces that show no trace of wear. The strike is distinctly above-average, with uncommonly strong definition on the portrait and the peripheral stars of the obverse. While numerous light to moderate abrasions pepper each side, the coin retains significant visual appeal. A fascinating and historic example of this popular O-mint issue.
