1853-O Double Eagle, AU58
Scarce in High Grades

1853-O $20 AU58 NGC. Winter-1. This fourth emission in the New Orleans double eagle series is considerably scarcer than its predecessors. Only 71,000 1853-O twenty dollar gold coins were struck from a single die pair, and about 400 to 500 pieces are believed to survive, according to Doug Winter. This near-Mint representative is markedly above average for the 1853-O. Bright green-gold surfaces exhibit well-struck design elements, and scattered abrasions, while plentiful, are not especially distracting. A trace of expected friction and a few areas of incompleteness are noted. Census: 29 in 58, 8 finer (3/25).
