Description
1838 Eagle, AU58
Sharply Struck Example
1838 $10 AU58 NGC. The 1838 Liberty Head eagles were the
first of the new Christian Gobrecht design, as the last ten dollar
gold pieces previously struck for circulation (rather than for
presentation purposes) had been dated 1804. The Large Letters (Head
of 1838) design would be carried over into a second and final year
in 1839. Most 1838 eagles average no better than Choice XF. This
near-Mint example is considerably finer, both technically and
aesthetically. The medium orange-gold surfaces gleam with intense
luster and show scarcely a mark on either side. The strike is quite
sharp overall, including the star centrils, the hair, the beads in
the bun, and the eagle feathers on the reverse. An excellent coin
to represent this fleeting subtype.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 262D, PCGS# 8575, Greysheet# 9356)
