We are excited to showcase a historically significant and highly collectible coin—the 1852-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, graded AU53 by NGC. This coin is a stellar representation of the early years of Double Eagle production at the New Orleans Mint, known for producing some of the most cherished gold coins in American numismatics.
The 1852-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle is a prized coin, struck at the New Orleans Mint, a facility renowned for producing lower-mintage gold coins compared to its northern counterparts. The "O" mintmark is a symbol of the coin's Southern origin, adding a unique charm and desirability for collectors.
The obverse features the iconic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre, with Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY." The reverse displays a powerful heraldic eagle, clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing both peace and readiness for defense, with the denomination and United States motto encircling the eagle.
