1852-O Twenty, AU58
Impressive Eye Appeal

1852-O $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. Our consignor has a wonderful run of double eagles in this sale, characterized by an uncanny eye for coins at the highest end of their grade level with remarkable surface quality. This near-Mint twenty is exceptionally appealing in that regard. Considerable prooflikeness remains at the margins, surrounded by immaculate rims and sharp dentils. The rich, gold color displays orange highlights and unquestioned originality. Liberty's portrait shows only a few ticklike marks, while the obverse fields have no heavy hits whatsoever -- just light abrasions that do not distract. The reverse is considerably more prooflike than the obverse, and the coin presents a bold strike throughout. An easy CAC approval greeted this attractive example. Population: 33 in 58 (1 in 58+), 13 finer (6/14).
