1852-O $20 AU58 NGC. Despite an original mintage of 19
<B>1852-O $20 AU58 NGC.</B></I> Despite an original mintage of 190,000 pieces that is quite modest when compared to Type One issues from the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints, the 1852-O is one of the more obtainable issues in the entire run of New Orleans double eagles. The typical survivor, however, rarely surpasses low-end AU grades and those approaching Mint State enjoy strong demand from Southern gold specialists. This is a satin finished example whose lightly rubbed surfaces reveal flashes of original luster at most angles. The devices are sharply impressed, the number of abrasions is consistent with the assigned grade. A bright, yellow-gold representative. Census: 69 in 58, 16 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
