Lot Description

Desirable Choice AU 1852-O Liberty Head Twenty 1852-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). Vivid deep green-gold surfaces with warm orange patina also very much in evidence. Both sides are boldly defined for the issuing mint with abundant mint luster, the protected areas around the devices sheltering prooflike reflectivity. Scattered handling marks are consistent with the assigned grade, and a touch of haziness to the reverse is noted solely for accuracy. Given the rarity of this issue in Mint State, appealing Choice AU specimens such as this - rare in their own right - are in constant demand from double eagle collectors and Southern gold specialists.
