1857-O Double Eagle, VF35
Better New Orleans Issue

1857-O $20 VF35 NGC. Most New Orleans double eagles are dated between 1850 and 1853, years with a respectable twenty dollar mintage from the Southern facility. New Orleans continued to strike issues annually through 1861, and again in 1879, but many of those issues are formidable rarities. But the 1857-O is collectible. The mintage was 30,000 pieces, far below the 1850 to 1853 heyday but sufficient to allow acquisition for the advance collector. The present green-gold midgrade example displays a few specks of struck-in grease on the upper obverse, but post-strike detractions are limited to moderate contact on Liberty's cheek. Housed in a circa-2000 holder.
