Description

Attractive First Year of Regular Issue
1850 Double Eagle, AU50

1850 $20 AU50 NGC. Ex: Byron Reed Collection. This is an unusually clean and highly attractive example from the first regular issue of the twenty dollar gold denomination. Mint State examples are rare and extremely expensive, but many collectors should find this more affordable AU coin to be a worthy choice for their collection. Well struck throughout, with deep olive-rose coloration and only the most trivial of marks on either side. (Registry values: N1793)
