Pleasing 1852 Double Eagle
Type One, AU58

1852 $20 AU58 NGC. As the large mintage of more than 2 million pieces suggests, the 1852 Type One Liberty Head double eagle is an available issue.

The present coin is sharply struck, with fine detail on the hair and star centers. Only a touch of friction shows on the highest points of the design. The surfaces show few abrasions for the grade.(Registry values: N991)
