1855-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle AU-53 PCGS
In 1855, the New Orleans Mint struck a remarkably small run of twenty-dollar gold coins, producing a mere 8,000 examples of the Liberty Gold Double Eagle. Today, surviving specimens from this specific southern issue are highly prized by historians and numismatists alike due to their extreme scarcity and the unique circumstances of their mid-nineteenth-century production. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold and containing 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal, this impressive coin features the classic Liberty design on its obverse, accompanied by the date of 1855. The reverse displays the United States of America country name and the twenty-dollar denomination. This particular specimen has survived the decades in remarkable condition, certified as Almost Uncirculated 53 (AU-53), preserving the distinct details of the New Orleans 'O' mint mark.
