1848-O Ten, AU53
Collectible Eagle from the 1840s

1848-O $10 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1. Although not especially common, the 1848-O is more available than many New Orleans eagles from the 1840s. This appealing example retains a fair amount of mint luster, while the surfaces show fewer abrasions than expected. The strike is characteristically soft at the centers, as if struck from widely spaced dies -- a weakness of strike shared with the 1849-O. Attractive rich-gold color is consistent on both sides. The reverse die shows the unusual and popular "shield ring" atop the second vertical stripe. Population: 15 in 53, 36 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2634, PCGS# 8600, Greysheet# 9438)

Weight: 16.72 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
