Lovely 1851-O Double Eagle, About Uncirculated

1851-O $20 AU50 NGC. The 1851-O was the second double eagle struck at the New Orleans Mint and due to its relative availability it is a popular type coin among collectors. Pleasing yellow-gold patina graces the surfaces of this briefly circulated specimen. A number of light abrasions are visible, but all are inconsequential. The stars show above-average sharpness, and areas of weakness are on the hair and tips of the eagle's wings, as usual. Lots of luster remains throughout the fields.(Registry values: N1793)
