1860-O Ten Dollar, MS61
New Orleans Condition Rarity

1860-O $10 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. Seized by Confederate forces in 1861, the New Orleans Mint soon ceased operations and did not produce any gold eagles again until 1879. Just 11,100 eagles were struck in New Orleans for 1860, and today the issue is rare in Mint State. A check of our archives shows this is the only the fourth appearance of a problem-free Uncirculated 1860-O eagle in one of our auctions since 1993.

The coin is bright and somewhat prooflike with brilliant yellow-gold color. Numerous small marks and lines are distributed over the surfaces. Well-struck at the centers, some peripheral weakness is noted at several stars. The coin is the Date High variety, with a diagnostic clash mark in the shield and bold (unlapped) neck curls. A rare and desirable New Orleans ten, seldom available this fine. Population: 3 in 61, 2 finer (10/21).
