Ideal Type Coin Candidate

1851 $20 MS61 PCGS. Ex: The Fairmont Collection. Beautiful white-gold surfaces contain a delicate halo of rose-gold around the devices.

The 1851 double eagle sports the highest mintage of the denomination for the decade, and represents an ideal type coin candidate.(Registry values: N2998)
