1860-O $20 AU Details, Tooled, Improperly
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1860-O $20 AU Details, Tooled, Improperly Cleaned, NCS. The reddish-gold surfaces retain remnants of prooflike luster in areas where the aggressive cleaning could not reach. There are few sizeable distractions, but the surfaces are noticeably hairlined from whizzing. In addition, the field before Liberty's portrait has been smoothed over, probably to conceal a large impairment. The fourth rarest O-mint Double Eagle after the 1854-O, 1856-O, and 1859-O, the 1860-O has an extant population of only 60-65 coins from an original mintage of 6,600 pieces. Despite the inescapable distractions, this is an obviously important example for the Southern gold collector. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
