Description

Reflective 1857-O Liberty Twenty, AU58

1857-O $20 AU58 PCGS. A rare and important double eagle, the 1857-O survives from a mintage of only 30,000 coins. Doug Winter rates this date as the ninth rarest of 13 issues, although such a ranking is only of moderate value, given the rarity of all New Orleans double eagles, especially in higher grades. PCGS has only certified 130 examples in AU58 or better for all 13 dates, and 67 of those are 1851-O and 1852-O issues. The only finer 1857-O that PCGS has certified is a single amazing MS63 coin from the Harry Bass Collection. This delightful piece has excellent luster with slightly reflective fields and lovely green-gold color. A few marks on each side are of little concern. Population: 5 in 58, 1 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)
