Description

1850-O Twenty Dollar, AU58
Attractive O-Mint Type Coin

1850-O $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 3. The mintmark is high, touching the tailfeathers on this variety. As a date, the 1850-O is one of the few readily available New Orleans double eagles, boasting a mintage of 141,000 pieces. This is a high-end near-Mint example. Rich orange-gold surfaces retain elements of luster in the fields, along with hints of reflectivity. Detail is sharp save for some minor softness above the eagle on the reverse. Scattered light abrasions are typical of the issue but minor overall. An ideal first-year New Orleans type coin with exceptional eye appeal. Census: 21 in 58, 8 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N2998)
