1858-O Twenty Dollar, AU58
Few Known Finer

1858-O $20 AU58 PCGS. Variety 3. The 1858-O double eagle is not one of the better made or well preserved issues in the Liberty Head series. Doug Winter estimates that about 225 to 275 pieces exist today in all grades. Most display a poor strike, particularly on the hair, stars, date, upper shield, eagle's tail feathers, and mintmark. Also the luster is usually inferior, and the surfaces are almost always heavily abraded with deep marks in the fields.

This high-end AU specimen does not fit the typical 1858-O profile. The above-mentioned elements, with the exception of Liberty's hair, exhibit impressive detail. The luster, while not full, is ample for a coin that has seen limited circulation. Finally, while the surfaces display a scattering of marks, we would not call them "heavy" or "deep." For the issue, this is an exceptional piece that is sure to please the new owner.
