Description

1852-O Double Eagle, MS61
Exceptional Surfaces

1852-O $20 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. With fewer than three dozen Mint State examples certified by both services combined, only a total of 10 coins grade numerically finer than this MS61 example. It is doubtful even those higher-grade coins have substantially nicer surfaces than this coin. Rose accents enhance the yellow-gold fields and boldly-struck devices. Only minor abrasions are seen -- far fewer than normally encountered at this modest grade level. The frosted fields are enhanced by prooflike tendencies around the motifs.

New Orleans dates from the 1850s are always in demand, and while the relatively generous mintage of 190,000 pieces ensures the availability of numerous circulated examples, Uncirculated coins are rare and eagerly sought. This lustrous, minimally marked twenty would fit perfectly in any Mint State set or advanced gold collection.
