1851 Liberty Double Eagle, Uncirculated Details
Sharply Struck

1851 $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. The huge mintage of over 2 million double eagles in 1851 was propelled by the massive influx of gold from the California Gold Rush. Unfortunately, few specimens were saved by collectors in those early days and most examples seen today are heavily circulated. The present coin exhibits sharp detail on all design elements and abrasions are minimal for a large gold coin. The surfaces are light orange-gold, with slightly muted mint luster.
