Description

1853-O Double Eagle, AU58
Conditionally Rare New Orleans Issue

1853-O $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The 1853-O is significantly scarcer than earlier double eagles from this mint. In 1853, gold deposits at New Orleans continued from California ore, although coinage of this denomination declined to only 71,000 pieces. The 1853-O circulated extensively and survives mainly in VF or XF condition. High-end AU coins are rare, and only a handful of Mint State pieces are extant. This near-Mint example displays bright lemon-gold coloration and well-struck devices. Slight reflectivity in the fields produces strong visual appeal. Light surface chatter on each side is normal for the grade. Census: 25 in 58, 7 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268N, PCGS# 8910, Greysheet# 9847)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
