1851-O Double Eagle, MS61
Conditionally Rare Uncirculated Example
Popular Louisiana Mint Issue

1851-O $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety-3. Ex: The Fairmont Collection. A number of domestic and foreign hoard coins have increased the number of Mint State 1851-O double eagles, making it an accessible date in the challenging O-mint double eagle series. This is a splendid MS61 example highlighted by fleeting glimpses of prooflike surfaces beneath minor field chatter and a few tiny marks. A sharp strike is seen on both the obverse and reverse, with crisp definition at the obverse stars, Liberty's upper hair strands, and bun. Mint luster shines forth from the light orange-gold surfaces. This is one of the few Uncirculated 1851-O double eagles that qualify for CAC endorsement. Population: 7 in 61, 10 finer. CAC: 3 in 61, 1 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N7079)
