1851-O LIBERTY HEAD $20 MS60

CHOICE SATIN LUSTROUS SURFACES. VERY SCARCE NEW ORLEANS MINTED DOUBLE EAGLE. Double Eagle production at the New Orleans Mint inceraed to 315,000 pieces in 1851 - the highest yearly total from this coinage facility during the entire Liberty series. It should come as no surprise to read, therefore, that the 1851-O is the most common O-mint Double Eagle in terms of total number of coins believed to have survived. On the other hand, this issue is rarer than the 1852-O in high grades, and the number of Mint State survivors probably numbers fewer than 15 coins.
