Description

Rare, Mint State 1852-O Ten

1852-O MS 60 NGC. Very rare with a mintage of only 18,000 pieces, second lowest of any O-mint ten up to this time, the '52-O is a long overlooked New Orleans rarity. Quite a scarce coin in any grade above VF, the '52-O is rare in XF, extremely rare in AU, and virtually unknown in mint state. This is the only MS 60 certified by NGC and it is only equaled by another lone MS 60 certified by PCGS. The surfaces are a slightly subdued golden-orange, and generally the striking quality is quite good with the most noticeable softness being on the peripheral stars. Lightly marked in the fields with a milling mark noticed on the obverse.
