Description

1855-O Twenty, XF 40

1855-O XF 40 PCGS. A very rare New Orleans twenty that favorably compares to the much better known 1854-O and 1856-O, but is not quite as rare in lower grades. The mintage of only 8,000 pieces gives one some indication of the absolute rarity of this date. Perhaps it was best said by Akers in his 1982 book on the series, "...it is one of the most unappreciated coins in the series and it is undeniably one of the rarest, especially in high grade." This is a pleasing example for the grade that is reasonably well struck for a coin from this mint and still shows traces of luster on each side.
