The mintage figure for the 1851-O is nearly twice as great as the next most common double eagle from New Orleans (the 1852-O has a mintage of 190,000). The 1851-O is easily the most available New Orleans double eagle. It is plentiful in Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades, and can even be found in reasonably appealing About Uncirculated-50 to About Uncirculated-53 without a huge effort. It becomes very scarce in properly graded About Uncirculated-58, and it is very rare in Uncirculated with nearly all the known examples in the Mint State-60 to Mint State-61 range.
