***Auction highlight*** 1850-o Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded au55 By SEGS. This AU 1850-O double eagle exhibits a nice amount of original luster remaining especially in the protected areas around the devices. It offers a mostly satiny texture, vivid golden-yellow patina, overall bold definition and solid Choice AU quality. An immensely popular issue with both double eagle specialists and Southern gold collectors, the 1850-O is the first New Orleans Mint issue of this denomination. The typical survivor from the 141,000-piece mintage grades no finer than VF, and even EFs are scarce by Type I Liberty Head double eagle standards. In AU the 1850-O is nothing short of rare, while Mint State examples are so elusive that most collectors will never see or have the opportunity to acquire one. A leading condition rarity, this AU-55 example will be just right for an advanced gold cabinet. I have included 2 other au55 examples for your comparison. I think ours compares very favorably. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
