1860-O $20

Description

Rare 1860-O Double Eagle

1860-O $20 VF 35 PCGS. A bit lightly struck around the obverse periphery, as often seen, but a surprisingly choice coin for the grade. Light orange-gold color can be seen on both sides and the surfaces are quite clean. There is a small obverse rim bump at 12 o'clock that is mentioned mainly for the sake of accuracy. Housed in an old PCGS holder, and arguably five points better than the indicated grade.
While only 6,600 pieces were produced, the 1860-O is actually a touch less rare than the 1859-O. There are 60-70 pieces known with most in the VF to XF range. In AU grades, the 1860-O is slightly more available than the 1859-O but it is still a rare and desirable coin.
