Description

1861 $20 AU53 NGC. Pleasing olive-gold and yellow patina covers both sides of this briefly circulated piece. Plenty of bright luster is still present, and the reverse shows a startling cartwheel effect. A number of tiny abrasions are located in the fields, but none are of any significance. A lovely example of a Type One double eagle.(Registry values: N991)
