Description du lot

A noteworthy second offering in this sale for the normally elusive 1857-O double eagle, and for a highly desirable PCGS AU-55 coin, at that. Bathed in handsome, vivid color, both sides show uncommonly strong detail for this challenging issue. The reverse is particularly impressive for its overall boldness of detail. Scattered handling marks are commensurate with the grade for such a large size gold coin struck in the pre-Civil War New Orleans Mint, and few are singularly distracting to the unaided eye. If the NGC MS-60 PL in the preceding escapes your grasp, the present specimen would make an equally impressive addition to an advanced double eagle or Southern gold cabinet. See sure see spirited bidding.
