1852-O $20 MS (PCGS#8907)

The Regency Auction 60

详细说明: This is a sensationally lustrous AU58 1852-O $20! Indeed, the brilliance is complete on both sides; the sharpness and lack of all but the most minute trace of friction keeps this coin from a full Mint State grade. We have no doubt that in the past, before the days of 3rd party grading services, this coin would have been sold as a Brilliant Uncirculated coin. The original mintage of 190,000 was relatively high for the facility, and the 52-O ranks among the more "common" of the series, though it is VERY RARE in any Mint State grade. In AU58 this date comes in a wide range of quality, and despite a lack of CAC bean, this one ranks high on the quality spectrum. Bold and brilliant, this coin has a full strike, with razor sharp definition to the devices. Some light friction and microscopic lines are all that keep this from a Mint State holder (we would not be surprised if this coin has already been tried a couple of times). The eye appeal is superlative for an AU58 and will certainly delight any picky collector of double eagles or New Orleans gold. PCGS 51, NGC 92. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $20,000 and this coin has a stronger eye appeal than those that have sold in auction recently. It should be noted that the value doubles to $40,000 in MS60. Opportunity knocks loudly here for someone looking for an essentially Mint State coin without the price tag! Cert.
