1851-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS).，A sharply defined, attractively original example with ample satin luster remaining to honey-gold surfaces. In 1851 production of the new double eagle reached its zenith at New Orleans with a production run of 315,000 pieces, although it is a mere fraction of the more than two million coins struck at Philadelphia the same year. Ever popular among type collectors seeking an example from the only Southern mint to produce the denomination, it is also the most available of all the New Orleans double eagles. As with many other gold coins of the period, the 1851-O double eagle saw frequent use for many years and is usually found in lower grades, with Mint State specimens being especially scarce. An appealing example for the budget-conscious numismatist looking for a quality specimen.，，
