This issue is one of the rarest New Orleans twenties. After the first four emissions of double eagles from the New Orleans Mint (in 1850, 1851, 1852, and 1853), there were considerably fewer coins made in 1854, producing a major rarity in the Liberty double eagle series. Only 70 to 80 pieces are believed to be extant today in all grades, with most falling in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine level of preservation (Douglas Winter, Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, 1839–1909). Just a handful of Uncirculated survivors have been certified. The NGC population is 12 with 10 graded higher. In hand, this particular example is lighter in color, as well as considerably more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images.
