Important High-Grade 1853-O Double Eagle 1853-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). Offered is an important coin for the date and mintmark specialist as relatively few survive from the original mintage of 71,000 pieces for the issue. Struck on a bright yellow-gold flan, the surfaces show scattered light circulation marks as well as an impressive amount of reflective luster. The strike is sharp throughout. Moderate chatter in the fields, less so on Liberty's face and neck. Virtually all known survivors of the challenging 1853-O double eagle show some degree of circulation, and finding an example in such a high technical grade as AU usually requires patience. Definitely a find for the advanced gold collector. The present 1853-O is in a grade high enough to attract an advanced specialist, yet it is much less expensive than a Mint State coin would cost, if indeed you could find a nice one. Such pieces were important to trade at the time -- by steamboat up the Mississippi River connecting to inland cities and towns, and by sea to foreign countries. Such double eagles saw intense use. PCGS# 8910. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
