Enjoyable Choice AU 1850-O Twenty

1850-O $20 AU55 NGC. The first year of official double eagle production saw activity at two Mints, and while the Philadelphia Mint struck substantially more twenties than did New Orleans, the output at the latter facility was appreciable, with 141,000 pieces coined. Those pieces encountered heavy attrition, however, and better-grade examples are eagerly sought-after by Southern gold enthusiasts. This briefly circulated Choice AU coin is primarily luminous yellow-orange with slight golden-brown accents at the worn high points. Well struck by the standards of the issue with a number of fine abrasions across each side that contribute to the grade. NGC has certified just 19 numerically superior pieces (6/08).(Registry values: N2998)
