Description

1852-O Twenty Dollar, AU55
Type One New Orleans Issue

1852-O $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. Often identified as the the second most available New Orleans double eagle from the 1850s, this issue is available but scarce at the AU level. Still, more than 200 pieces are believed known of the 1852-O in AU condition, making it moderately available for the collector of Type One twenties. Nice luster remains across lightly abraded medium-gold surfaces, and the fields display a confirmed semiprooflikeness. A strong strike for the issue displays the devices to full advantage, and the only significant mark is at the dentils beneath N of TWENTY, where a border disturbance may be of Mint origin.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268L, PCGS# 8907, Greysheet# 9845)
