Description
1860-O Ten Dollar, MS62
Condition Census Rarity
1860-O $10 MS62 NGC. Variety 2. Here is a sought-after
branch mint issue. The 1860-O ten dollar gold piece was the final
issue of this denomination from the New Orleans Mint prior to the
outbreak of the Civil War, which quickly shut down operations at
the Louisiana facility. Continuing a trend of low-mintage gold
issues throughout the late 1850s, the 1860-O eagle had a production
of only 11,100 pieces, most of which experienced wide circulation.
Mint State examples are extremely rare and almost all are heavily
abraded. This MS62 coin, with its semiprooflike fields, sharp
design elements, and rich yellow-gold luster is undeniably high in
the Condition Census. Only light handling marks on the cheek and in
the nearby field determine the grade. In all Mint State grades, NGC
has seen only seven submissions, including two in MS62 and one MS63
coin finer; PCGS has seen four Uncirculated submissions, with a
single MS62 coin as finest (6/16).(Registry values: P6)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2645, PCGS# 98631, Greysheet# 9458)
