Description

1851-O Twenty Dollar, MS62
High-Grade Condition Rarity

1851-O $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 1. This is the extreme late die state of Variety 1, showing all of the peripheral reverse die cracks along with evidence of lapping on both sides. The obverse exhibits additional small rust lumps around Liberty's eye in addition to the large teardrop-shaped lump at the front corner of the eye. The border stars are somewhat soft, while the central devices provide pleasing definition. Each side of this Mint State New Orleans type coin displays bright yellow-gold color and somewhat muted, softly satiny luster. Scattered abrasions are as expected for the grade.

While the 1851-O is among the most plentiful New Orleans issues in the series (315,000 pieces struck), it is conditionally rare in Mint State, with only a few coins reported as fine as MS62. NGC and PCGS each list just a single numerically finer example. Census: 6 in 62, 1 finer (7/24).(Registry values: N7079)
