<B>1850-O $20 AU55 NGC.</B></I> The New Orleans Mint struck double eagles every year between 1850 and 1861. These dates represent the first year of circulation production of the denomination, and the year the New Orleans Mint was seized by the state of Louisiana. Many O-mint dates are formidable rarities, which focuses demand on those few issues that appear with any regularity. The 1850-O is collectible, but scarcer than the 1851-O or 1852-O.<BR> This is a well detailed example that exhibits partial mint luster when it is rotated beneath a light. As expected of a lightly circulated double eagle, the surfaces display various small marks, but none of these merit individual description. The base of the mintmark is lightly repunched. Census: 47 in 55, 19 finer (10/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
