详细说明

1853-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). Overall sharply defined with ample satin to modestly semi-reflective luster remaining. Deep, rich, orange-rose patina blankets both sides and further enhances this coin's appeal. The fourth entry in the New Orleans Mint double eagle series, the 1853-O is considerably scarcer than the 1850-O, 1851-O and 1852-O. The mintage of 71,000 pieces represents a sharp reduction from the preceding three issues, a clear indicator that the Louisiana branch mint was not the destination of choice for most of the gold being mined in California during the early 1850s. Scarce in all grades and increasingly challenging to collect the higher one progresses up the grading scale, this appealing Choice EF is sure to catch the eye of specialists. PCGS# 8910. NGC ID: 268N.
