1851-O $20 MS62 NGC. The 1851-O is one of the more available issues among the popular New Orleans Mint double eagles, and can be obtained without much difficulty up to and including to the lower threshold of AU. Above that level, the population thins out rapidly until Mint State survivors can be counted on one's fingers. The presently offered example is certainly one of the finest from this tiny group of Uncirculated '51-O twenties. The semi-reflective surfaces display incredible sharpness throughout and are richly colored in green-gold and yellow-gold hues. Abrasions are really quite minimal for a coin below the Select level, but a few trivial milling marks on the lower obverse stand in the way of a higher grade. Census: 13 in 62, 1 finer (7/06).

1851-O $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1851-O is one of the more available issues among the popular New Orleans Mint Double Eagles and can be obtained without much difficulty until the Uncirculated threshold is reached. Mint State examples are legitimately scarce and, allowing for a few resubmissions, it is doubtful that more than a dozen MS62 or better coins survive. The semi-reflective surfaces display excellent sharpness in all areas and are richly colored in green-gold and reddish hues. Abrasions are relatively minimal for the assigned grade, with the answer to the modest Mint State rating being a few isolated hairlines surrounding the portrait. Population: 5 in 62, 5 finer (7/04).

1851-O $20 MS62 NGC. Despite the emergence of two small hoards of Uncirculated 1851-O double eagles, this otherwise readily obtainable O-mint issue is still a significant rarity in Mint State. The Baltimore Hoard of 1934-1935 included ten satiny examples. In the mid-1980s, a hoard of 23 pieces was retrieved from the waters off Santa Barbara. Since the latter were impaired from exposure to seawater, Winter has not included them among the 8-10 Mint State 1851-O double eagles that he believes are available to today's specialists. With uniformly bright, satiny features, this nearly unsurpassable specimen may owe its existence to the Baltimore Hoard. Every last design element is crisply impressed and the rich green-gold color exudes originality. Typically abraded for the grade, yet uncommonly smooth for the issue. NGC reports only five coins at the present level with only a single piece finer (11/03). (PCGS# 8905)

1851-O $20 MS61 NGC. Like the 1850-O and 1852-O, the second-year 1851-O is a common date among New Orleans Mint Double Eagles. In an absolute sense, however, the '51-O is a scarce coin with a not overly generous original mintage of 315,000 pieces. The vast majority of extant examples grade VF or XF, with just 200 survivors (per Winter, 2002) in AU, and a mere 23 pieces certified Mint State at NGC and PCGS combined (10/02). This is the first MS61 representative that we have offered in recent memory, but we did auction an MS60 NGC coin for $10,925 as lot 6950 in our February 2002 Long Beach Signature Sale. The dies were extensively polished prior to striking the present example--a fact that explains why the obverse stars near the upper border are noticeably attenuated. On the plus side, the lapping has resulted in a pleasing semi-prooflike finish that is most readily evident at direct light angles. The central devices are appreciably sharp, and both sides are awash in lovely yellow-gold color with a hint of olive tinting. The already impressive eye appeal benefits even further from a relative lack of abrasions for a Double Eagle at the MS61 grade level We do, however, note a shallow reverse scrape in the field below STATE in STATES that should help trace the pedigree of this Condition Census survivor. It is interesting to note that our January 2002 sale of the Eagle Collection included an 1851-O Twenty that graded "only" AU58.
