1860-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle PCGS XF45 PCGS XF45 | Ultra-low mintage New Orleans issue | Population: 9 | Only 34 graded higher Year: 1860 Weight: 33.44 grams Purity: .900 Fine Gold (90% gold, 10% copper) Era: Pre-33 U.S. Gold Mint: New Orleans (O Mintmark) Face Value: $20 USD Mintage: Only 6,600 coins struck Population: Just 9 graded XF45 by PCGS Population Higher: Only 34 examples known in higher grades Rarity: Only 2 known in Mint State Grading Service: PCGS Grade: XF45 This 1860-O $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle is a true standout in the world of Pre-33 U.S. gold. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint during the final year of its $20 Liberty coinage, this piece represents one of the scarcest and most sought-after issues in the entire series. With a mintage of only 6,600 coins, the 1860-O is a key-date rarity, especially difficult to find in any collectible condition. This example, graded XF45 by PCGS, is one of just 9 known at this grade level, with only 34 certified higher. Even heavily worn, damaged, or "train-wreck" examples typically command prices starting around $25,000 due to the date's rarity. In Mint State, these coins soar into six-figure territory, and only two have ever been certified in Mint State by PCGS. The coin’s appeal lies not just in its scarcity but also in its historical significance. Struck on the eve of the Civil War and the secession of Louisiana, it reflects the turbulent final chapter of Southern coin production at a U.S. Mint. This is more than a coin—it’s a tangible link to a pivotal era in American history. Whether you’re an advanced collector of Liberty Double Eagles, an investor seeking rare low-mintage gold, or a historian drawn to pre-Civil War artifacts, this 1860-O $20 Liberty Double Eagle in XF45 represents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a cornerstone piece.Coin SeriesPre-33 GoldPurity.900Face Value$20Mint Or RefineryU.S. Mint - New OrleansMetal TypeGoldMordern Or HistoricalPre-33GradeXF45Grade ServicePCGSYear1803Product BrandU.S. Mint - New OrleansCertifiedInvestment Grade
