1857-O Twenty Dollar, AU55
Elusive New Orleans Issue

1857-O $20 AU55 PCGS. Variety 1. The 1857-O is a rare double eagle issue from the New Orleans mint. It has been overshadowed for many years the towering rarity of the 1854-O and 1856-O, but the '57-O is important in its own right. Only 30,000 pieces were produced, and PCGS has a population of only 122 in all grades, with many of those coins likely duplicate submissions over the past 35 years. The present green-gold representative shows hints of field reflectivity. The devices are lustrous, and the strike is fairly sharp. Moderate marks are scattered, with the most conspicuous on the reverse rim near 9 o'clock. Population: 18 in 55, 15 finer (5/22).
