1855-O $20

Description

1855-O VF 30. Evenly worn, with just a few light circulation marks on either side and coppery-red toning in the protected areas. With a mintage of only 8,000 pieces, this date ranks as one of the rarities in the Type One series. Akers called this "one of my favorite Double Eagles," further stating, "it is one of the most unappreciated coins in the series and it is undeniably one of the rarest, if not the rarest, especially in high grade." This is born out by the PCGS Population Report, which indicate that no mint state examples have been graded and only eighteen circulated examples have been certified (many of which may be duplicates). The highest grade certified to date (4/94) by PCGS is only AU 53. This is a great opportunity to add this incredible rarity to your collection.
