Attractive 1850 Double Eagle in AU

1850 $20 AU 50 PCGS. The first collectible double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, the 1850 has an original mintage of 1.1 million pieces. This issue is not rare in an absolute sense, but most survivors are concentrated at the VF and XF grade levels. This coin appears finer than the marginal AU grade. Both sides are suitably lustrous with solid remaining definition and a relative lack of distracting abrasions. A small alloy spot is noted in the obverse field inside star 2, but the balance of the surfaces exhibit even green-gold color.
