1852-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle XF-40 PCGS
In 1852, the branch mint in New Orleans produced a limited run of just 190,000 double eagles. This twenty dollar gold coin, composed of 90 percent pure gold, represents a fascinating era of American coinage. It contains nearly a full troy ounce of precious metal, specifically 0.9675 ounces, and bears the distinctive 'O' mint mark of the historic Louisiana facility. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. Her hair is secured by a pearl-adorned crown that clearly displays the word 'Liberty'. Below this classic profile, the year 1852 is inscribed. The reverse side showcases a design inspired by the Great Seal of the United States, surrounded by the legend 'United States of America' and the face value of the denomination. This particular specimen has survived the decades in remarkable condition, certified by professional graders as Extra Fine 40. It offers observers a tangible connection to mid-nineteenth-century commerce and the early years of the New Orleans Mint.
