1857-O $20 XF 40 PCGS. A scarcer O-mint that is probably overlooked because it is chronologically near the key 1856-O. Only 30,000 pieces were produced and the vast majority of survivors are VF or XF at best. Typical for the issue, the fields show considerable remnants of a prooflike finish and the striking details are somewhat weak. However, this piece lacks the heavy abrasions seen on most examples. Only one mark is noteworthy: a vertical scratch below the eye and behind the nose of Liberty.
