Description

1852-O Twenty Dollar, AU58
Original Olive-Gold Color
High Grade for the Issue

1852-O $20 AU58 NGC. Winter-1. A single New Orleans die pair struck the entire 190,000-piece 1852-O double eagle mintage according to our most recent information. Original deep olive-gold color blankets this nearly Mint State example. Doug Winter writes, "it is scarce in properly graded AU55 and very scarce in AU58. It is very rare in Uncirculated and extremely rare in MS62 and higher." The natural surfaces of this AU58 coin display soft-gray accents at the high points showing a touch of circulation wear. The strike is bold and any marks or abrasions are entirely grade consistent. NGC has certified only 32 numerically finer examples, plus five in 58+ (12/25).(Registry values: N1793)
