Description
1838 Eagle, AU
First-Year Issue, Two-Year Type
1838 $10 AU50 NGC. The 1838 eagle was the first of the
denomination coined since President Jefferson discontinued the
series some 34 years earlier, in 1804. The new Christian Gobrecht
design that debuted in 1838 is accordingly a first-year issue of a
two-year type, as the design with sharp rear truncation on the bust
continued over to some 1839-dated pieces. This AU NGC-certified
piece would make a perfect type coin. Only modest wear appears on
surfaces that display considerable luster remaining amid the
attractive medium-gold coloration. A scattering of marks appear,
none particularly severe, the most blatant a couple just behind
Liberty's mouth. Census: 11 in 50, 21 finer (4/13).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 262D, PCGS# 8575, Greysheet# 9356)
