Description
1857-O Liberty Head Twenty, AU Details
Reflective, Prooflike Surfaces
1857-O $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. The 1857-O
double eagle is a scarce date from a mintage of 30,000 pieces.
Perhaps 175-200 examples survive today in all grades. The present
coin is an attractive example, in spite of the unfortunate cleaning
noted on the holder. The surfaces are bright greenish-gold, with a
deeply reflective prooflike quality. Much original detail remains
on the design elements, and there are strong elements of
field-device contrast when the coin is tilted in the light.
Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
