Description

1852-O Liberty Head Double Eagle, AU58
Scarce in AU58

1852-O $20 AU58 NGC. From a substantial mintage of 190,000 pieces, the 1852-O Liberty Head double eagle is an available date, and always in great demand with type collectors. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 900-1100 examples in all grades, with perhaps 200-250 specimens extant in AU. The issue does become scarce in higher AU grades, and Mint State coins are rare.
The present coin is especially attractive, with bright semiprooflike fields, and a remarkably sharp, uniform strike over all the design elements. There are two small marks in the lower obverse field, and one on the reverse just under the eagle's left (facing) wing. Census: 79 in 58, 14 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1793)
