1850-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle AU-53 NGC
In 1850, the United States Mint in New Orleans struck a remarkable run of twenty-dollar gold pieces. This particular Liberty Double Eagle represents a fascinating moment in mid-nineteenth-century American commerce, bearing the distinctive 'O' mint mark of the Southern branch mint. With a total mintage of 141,000 pieces, these substantial gold coins circulated heavily, making surviving specimens highly compelling objects of study. Struck in 90 percent gold with a total metal content of 0.9675 troy ounces, the coin features the classic Liberty design on its obverse, accompanied by the date 1850. This specific specimen has survived the decades in an impressive state of preservation, certified in About Uncirculated 53 (AU-53) condition, which allows observers to appreciate the fine details of its engraving and the historic luster of New Orleans gold.
