1850-O Twenty Dollar, AU58
Challenging in This High Grade

1850-O $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 2. Both Philadelphia and New Orleans coined double eagles in 1850, and New Orleans was the only branch mint to produce them until 1854, when the San Francisco Mint struck its own from California gold. This is an appealing near-Mint example of the first branch mint double eagle issue, partially semiprooflike with pale greenish-gold surfaces that retain practically all of their luster. The stars have unusually strong definition, with none of the mushiness often seen at the centers, and Liberty's hair displays above-average detail. Light highpoint friction denies this piece a Mint State grade, but the relative lack of distracting marks is a refreshing change from the typical representative. Census: 17 in 58, 5 finer (11/16).
