Description

1858-O Double Eagle, AU55
Early Die State

1858-O $20 AU55 NGC. Winter-1. This early die state of Variety 1 lacks the prominent die crack that eventually forms through the left side of the N in UNITED to the scroll just above the ornament. The New Orleans Mint produced 35,250 double eagles in 1858 and those were coined from four die pairs that combine two obverse dies and four reverse dies. This Choice AU piece has vibrant rose toning on its light yellow-gold surfaces that are remarkably free of distracting marks. This piece shows strike weakness on the scroll on the right side of the reverse and on the eagle's tail feathers. Census: 36 in 55, 41 finer (7/25).(Registry values: N2998)
