1850 $20 PCGS AU55

An extremely popular issue, 1850 is the first collectible year of the Liberty double eagle type (the unique 1849 Proof at the Smithsonian is a pattern). A large product of more than 1.1 million pieces were struck and the vast majority entered circulation. Understandably few examples were saved by contemporary collectors as $20 was too much money for the average person to set aside. As a result, this issue is elusive in Mint State. A wholesome AU example with flashy luster and strong details appreciable!
