1881-O Liberty Eagle, MS61
Elusive, Low-Mintage Issue

1881-O $10 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. The 2020 Guide Book lists the mintage for the 1881-O Liberty eagle at a meager 8,350 pieces and Doug Winter ranks it as the fourth-rarest issue of the New Orleans Mint series in both absolute and high grade rarity. The 1881-O is seldom encountered in any Mint State grade and none have been certified in grades above MS61 by either of the leading grading services (3/20). This attractive MS61 example exhibits a sharper than average strike for the issue, with full radial lines on the star centers and just a trace of softness on Liberty's curls. The rich yellow-gold surfaces show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade and traces of prooflike reflectivity are visible in sheltered areas around the devices. Census: 8 in 61, 0 finer (3/20).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265Y, PCGS# 8693, Greysheet# 9495)
