Significant Premium AU 1858 $20 1858 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58+ (PCGS). Pleasing honey-gold surfaces are accentuated with rose iridescence on both sides of this impressive near-Mint State example. Sharply defined and lustrous for the grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more inviting near-Mint 1858 twenty. The mintage for the date was just 211,714 pieces, down more than 227,000 pieces from the previous year's tally at the Philadelphia Mint. Face value for this elusive issue is $4,234,280. Even circulated examples are scarce for an 1850s double eagle, and we estimate that some 900 to 1,200 examples are extant. The present piece is a superior AU, and in fact is the only AU-58+ example at PCGS. Destined for an advanced gold cabinet, where it will surely be a highlight. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 1; 30 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8923. NGC ID: 2697. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
