Last "O" date in this series. First appearance since the 1861-O $20 Liberty. While a modest grade the 1879-O Double Eagle is truly a major rarity in any grade. It really is one of the most difficult $20s and O dates to obtain and much more "affordable" than, say, the 1854-O and 1856-O. With only 2,325 examples minted, it is believed today that approximately 100 examples are extant, though a 125+ have been documented as graded. Some, obviously sent in for regrade. With the word "rare" bantered about concerning coins, this one is genuinely rare and higly sought after. Good Bidding! Place a Bid!
