XF Details 1850-O Double Eagle
First Branch Mint Twenty

1850-O $20 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. Though the gold-only mints at Charlotte and Dahlonega were not equipped to strike double eagles, New Orleans was, and it struck twenties alongside Philadelphia in the denomination's first circulation-strike year of 1850. This example of the 1850-O was cleaned once, leaving a number of hairlines in the yellow-gold fields, yet the coin retains considerable majesty. Copper spots are noted near the rim at the right obverse and reverse.
