Condition Rarity 1850-O Double Eagle 1850-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). This AU 1850-O double eagle exhibits glints of semi-reflectivity in the protected areas around the devices. It offers a mostly satiny texture, vivid golden-yellow patina, overall bold definition and solid Choice AU quality. An immensely popular issue with both double eagle specialists and Southern gold collectors, the 1850-O is the first New Orleans Mint issue of this denomination. The typical survivor from the 141,000-piece mintage grades no finer than VF, and even EFs are scarce by Type I Liberty Head double eagle standards. In AU the 1850-O is nothing short of rare, while Mint State examples are so elusive that most collectors will never see or have the opportunity to acquire one. A leading condition rarity, this AU-55 example will be just right for an advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) New York ANA Sale of August 1976, lot 3158. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 11; 7 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-61). PCGS# 8903. NGC ID: 268G.
