Description

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

1851-O $20 MS62 PCGS. Winter 6. The 1851-O is the most plentiful double eagle issued at the New Orleans Mint, with a coinage of 315,000 pieces. That is nearly double the next highest mintage New Orleans double eagle. The original gold deposit records for the Louisiana Mint are preserved at the National Archives branch in Fort Worth, Texas, and show that more than 90% of the deposits from 1850 to 1853 consisted of California Gold Rush-mined gold.

This impressive MS62 specimen ranks high on the list of surviving examples. PCGS and NGC have each certified a single MS63 submission, followed by nine and six MS62 examples, respectively (1/25). The surfaces are vivid orange-gold with sharply detailed design elements, bright mint luster, and partially reflective fields. A single mark on Liberty's jaw prevents a higher grade.(Registry values: N7079)
