1856-O $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle Coin
The US Mint produced only 2,250 of these gold double eagle coins in 1856 at the Mint based in New Orleans. This coin is incredibly special, and not just because of the low mintage number. One reason for this rarity is the amount of detail shown on the coins, as the details aren’t mushy and soft.
