1857-O Double Eagle
Partly Lustrous AU55

1857-O $20 AU55 NGC. Double eagle production at the New Orleans Mint rebounded out of the small four-figure range in 1857, reaching 30,000 pieces. However, this issue circulated extensively and its modern-day availability is limited. Circulated pieces are occasionally seen, but the finer AU-level coins are in high demand since only a few Mint State pieces exist. This Choice About Uncirculated example is especially pleasing. There is some light friction over the high points of the devices and in the open areas of the fields, but the protected peripheral fields glimmer with original prooflike mirroring. A few marks on Liberty's cheek are the only singular distraction. Color on each side is a pleasing straw-gold hue, and eye appeal is outstanding for the issue and grade. Census: 30 in 55, 33 finer (2/21).
