Description
1851-O Double Eagle, AU58
Well-Struck with Outstanding Eye Appeal
1851-O $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 3. Although a relatively high
number of examples survive from this second-year New Orleans double
eagle issue, with nearly 1,200 pieces certified by NGC and PCGS
combined, the great majority of those coins exist in lower
circulated grades. The issue is scarce in AU condition and rare in
Mint State.This near-Mint specimen exhibits impressive, nearly full strike definition, with softness noted only on a couple of the design's highest points. Pleasing green-gold coloration is noted, along with substantial mint luster. High point friction is minimal, and surface marks are relatively modest on both sides of the coin, for the grade. Census: 61 in 58 (1 in 58+), 19 finer (6/14).
