Description

1855-S Double Eagle, AU55
Second S-Mint Issue

1855-S $20 AU55 NGC. After operations began in 1854, the San Francisco Mint completed the first full year of operation in 1855, producing 879,675 double eagles along with coins of several other denominations including the quarter, half dollar, three dollar gold, half eagle, and eagle. The total 1855 production at San Francisco amounted to $164,075 in silver coins and $18,008,300 in gold coins. Double eagles such as this example accounted for the vast majority of the S-Mint coinage in 1855. Trivial marks seen on this piece are expected at the AU55 grade level, and there are no large or unsightly surface marks. Both sides have light yellow-gold surfaces that retain considerable luster.
