Pleasing AU50 1850 Double Eagle

1850 $20 AU50 NGC. Enough luster remains on this red-gold twenty to justify the assigned grade. Not affecting the technical grade--though identified here for the sake of full disclosure--is an minor abrasion that extends from the 1 in the date to under the point of Ms. Liberty's bust. While the 1850 P-mint twenty is not a rare issue, it is highly popular due to its status as a first-year issue double eagle.(Registry values: N1793)
