1858-O $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Light golden toning with some mint luster still evident. Only 35,250 pieces struck. Pleasant fields on which contact marks can only be said to be few and far between. The design elements are strongly struck and clearly display minute detail. This is a strong strike. The stars, too, are bold. Original mint bloom still seen across the surfaces. A very pleasing specimen, and one of the few survivors in what is considered to be a challenging New Orleans mint issue. As such it is a high end condition rarity. 1858-O is a very expensive coin to find in Uncirculated grades, so why not go with this lovely AU55. Pop 27; 26 finer, 24 in 58, 2 in 61.
Estimated Value $18,000 - 22,000.
Ex: Eagle Collection.


 
Realized $19,550
