1857-O Twenty Dollar, AU50
Challenging New Orleans Issue

1857-O $20 AU50 NGC. While the 1850-O through 1853-O Liberty twenty dollar issues are sometimes available, patience and a pocketbook are required to obtain subsequent New Orleans double eagles. Like other post-1853 O-mint issues, the 1857-O is rare. The mintage was a scant 30,000 pieces, and an estimated 200 to 250 examples exist in any condition. The present green-gold AU representative displays light wear on Liberty's curls, but luster illuminates the wings, rays, and other design elements. No marks are of any relevance, and the eye appeal is attractive. Census: 19 in 50, 95 finer (3/23).(Registry values: N2998)
