1858-O $20

Description

Pleasing 1858-O Double Eagle

1858-O $20 XF 40 PCGS. Warm orange-gold toning covers the obverse and reverse. The underlying surfaces are very clean and a considerable amount of luster remains. The mintmark is slightly weak, as often seen on examples of this issue. Housed in a "second generation" holder and somewhat conservatively graded.
The 1858-O is similar in rarity to the 1857-O double eagle. Both of these issues are only somewhat scarce in lower grades but become rare in the lower AU grades and are very rare in AU 55 or above.
