Description

1853-O Double Eagle, AU Details
Elusive O-Mint Twenty

1853-O $20 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Variety 1. Significantly less available than the 1851 or 1852 New Orleans twenties, circulated examples of the 1853-O exist to a certain extent from the original mintage of just 71,000 pieces. Uncirculated coins are rare. The current coin shows About Uncirculated sharpness, but a few too many hairlines account for the grade. A shallow scrape near star 2 and a mark near the R of America are the most noticeable abrasions. The coin retains pleasing green-gold coloration with a touch of luster despite the cleaning.(Registry values: N2998)
