Description

1856 $20 AU50 NGC. Garrett and Guth (2006) write that the "1856 double eagle is much more difficult to locate than many of the other Philadelphia double eagles of the 1850s. The production for the year was widely distributed, and nearly all of the coins known are low grade." The present coin has pleasing sun-gold patina and eye-catching luster. The details are clearly defined, and there are no prominent marks.
