Luminous 1853-O Double Eagle, AU53

1853-O $20 AU53 NGC. Though the New Orleans Mint was the prime beneficiary of the California gold shipped to government facilities in earlier years, 1854 saw the opening of San Francisco as an official Mint, and the supply of gold to the Crescent City dried up. This well struck and softly lustrous orange-gold example hearkens back to New Orleans' boom times, though the briefly circulated surfaces show a number of abrasions.(Registry values: N2998)
