<Our item number 106362><B>1857-O &#36;20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53.</B> Well struck with traces of luster within the protected areas. We note a tiny area of a tar spot &#40;or other foreign substance&#41; hidden within Liberty&#39;s central hair. Rare. Particularly in such high grade. Despite a mintage of 30,000 pieces very few 1857-O double eagles exist today, probably fewer than 150 all told. Most are graded Very Fine or Extremely Fine.<BR><BR>Researchers place the 1857-O in the category of seventh rarest of 12 New Orleans double eagles in terms of overall rarity &#40;eighth in high grade rarity&#41;. It is slightly more available than the 1858-O in About Uncirculated. Uncommonly well struck, there is little evidence of the striking softness one expects of this issue. <B>Pop 6; 12 in 55; 5 in 58; 1 in 63.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8921&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;5,000-6,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 106362<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/106362.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/106362N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
