Desirable Choice XF 1850-O Twenty

1850-O $20 XF45 PCGS. In 1850, the mint closest to the gold fields of California was in New Orleans. It is unsurprising, then, that the Louisiana facility would strike double eagles during the first year of coinage for circulation, alongside the main Mint in Philadelphia. This Choice XF representative has warm orange-gold luster with hints of honey near the rims. The central detail is pleasing despite light wear, and though each side shows a mix of minor marks and abrasions, these flaws have little impact on the overall eye appeal. PCGS has graded 55 finer examples (3/09).(Registry values: N1793)
