From a small mintage of just 35,250 pieces comes this scarcer New Orleans Mint double eagle dated 1858. Barely worn overall, both sides are typically defined from a strike that is quite normal for this often poorly produced issue. Softness of strike seems to be largely confined to the peripheral details on both sides and a few isolated elements of the obverse portrait. Only the first four stars show mentionable weakness. The surfaces are a bit hazy as a result of having been cleaned at one time, however, there is some green-gold patina throughout. Some inconspicuous scuffing is noted above and to the right of the date.

Similar in overall rarity to the 1857-O, the 1858-O ranks eighth in the New Orleans Mint double eagle series. Survivors are scarce in all grades, Doug Winter's estimate (provided in the book Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint: 1839-1909, 2006 edition) on the number of coins extant is limited to just 150-175 pieces. A visually pleasing example of a rare-date New Orleans Mint twenty from the 1850s, and a coin that is sure to excite the gold specialist. (PCGS 8924)
