1882-O Ten Dollar, MS60
Housed in a Green Label Holder

1882-O $10 MS60 PCGS. Variety 1. The 1882-O is the most available of the low-mintage trio of New Orleans eagles made between 1880 and 1882. It has become relatively available in circulated grades from hoards that have been uncovered in Europe. Uncirculated examples remain rare with around a dozen known; mostly in the MS60 to MS61 range.

The Jacobson coin is listed in the Condition Census for this date in Doug Winter's recent book on New Orleans gold. It is one of two PCGS MS60 1882-O eagles known in a green label holder; the other brought $12,600 in the Heritage 2/2018 sale of the Admiral Collection. This piece is well-struck and beautifully toned in shades of deep orange-red, with glints of hazel-silver near the rims and on the high points.
Ex: Baltimore Signature (Heritage, 3/2009), lot 3106, where it realized $7,475; Harvey Jacobson Collection / Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2020), lot 3311, where it sold for $10,800. (Registry values: N2998)
