Lot 2502
1850-O $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Lovely surfaces. Light yellow gold with luster present about the devices. Free from serious marks and bruises. The 1850-O double eagle is relatively scarce in the context of general American numismatics, but enough are around that Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated examples appear on the market with regularity. Of the first three dates of New Orleans coins of this denomination, the 1850-O is the scarcest. Also, as the first year of the double eagle, and accordingly the first New Orleans issue, the variety is always in strong demand. Pop 38; 14 finer; 10 in 58; 2 in 60; 1 in 61; 1 in 62. (PCGS # 8903) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
