Description

1850 Liberty Head Twenty Dollar, AU53
First-Year Philadelphia Mint Issue

1850 $20 AU53 PCGS. An abundant Philadelphia mintage of 1,170,261 coins were released into commerce in this first year of circulation strikes for the Liberty Head double eagle gold. Medium yellow-gold coloration with honey overtones on this lovely piece. A number of circulation marks, as to be expected on a large gold coin, are evenly spread across both sides, with none of them singularly distracting. The strike has some softness in hair curls as usual, but most design elements have good definition. Frosty luster glows from recessed areas of the design.(Registry values: N1793)
