1852-O Double Eagle, MS61
Rare in Mint State, Ex: Hansen

1852-O $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. Ex: D.L. Hansen Collection. The 1852-O is the perfect issue for collectors looking for a high-grade New Orleans double eagle. With a mintage of 190,000 coins, it is second in availability after the 1851-O, though it is more accessible than its predecessor in high grades. Still, only 15 to 20 Mint State examples are believed extant, according to Doug Winter.

This former D.L. Hansen coin shows incredibly sharp central detail with Liberty's curls and the eagle's feathers fully defined. Definition is slightly softer on the stars. Bright yellow-gold surfaces exhibit the faintest tinges of green. Lightly abraded but still satiny and attractive for the type. Population: 10 in 61, 8 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268L, PCGS# 8907, Greysheet# 9845)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
