1850-O Double Eagle, AU58
High-Grade First-Year Example

1850-O $20 AU58 PCGS. Variety 2. This scarce die marriage features the 1 centered over a dentil and the O mintmark positioned evenly between the tailfeathers and denomination. The first New Orleans issue in the double eagle series is always a favorite among collectors. A mintage of 141,000 coins and a survivorship of perhaps as many as 800 pieces makes the 1850-O moderately accessible in lower grades. However, Doug Winter claims to have seen only three to five near-Mint examples between 2013 and 2018. This is a scarce opportunity to obtain a borderline-Uncirculated first-year double eagle with well-struck devices showing minimal wear, and partially lustrous wheat-gold surfaces. Population: 6 in 58 (1 in 58+), 1 finer (3/21).
