Description

Condition Scarcity 1852-O Double Eagle, AU58

1852-O $20 AU58 NGC. The 1852-O twenty dollar is readily available in the circulated grades of Very Fine and Extremely Fine. It becomes scarce in the high-end About Uncirculated grades, and is rare in Mint State, where NGC and PCGS have certified only 27 pieces, of which all but three are MS60 to MS62.
This near-Mint coin exhibits semi-prooflike fields that yield noticeable contrast with the lightly frosted motifs. The brassy-gold surfaces reveal just a handful of minute marks, unlike the majority of '52-O double eagles that are heavily abraded (Douglas Winter, 2006). Relatively sharp detail shows on the design elements, save for weakness on the reverse central device. Census: 77 in 58, 15 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N1793)
