1848-O MS 62 PCGS. The '48-O is a coin that is difficult to locate in all grades. It also may well be the poorest produced ten-dollar struck in the New Orleans mint during the 1840s. This is primarily because of the softness of strike seen on each side. This piece is typical in that regard with some weakness noted on the peripheral stars, the hair curls around Liberty's neck, and on the eagle's left (facing) leg. However, it is quite atypical to find this issue in mint condition. The '48-O is considered an R.8 in uncirculated, and indeed only four submissions have been recorded by the two major services (all were to PCGS). According to Warren Miller and Jesse Lipka, the coins listed on the Population Report as MS 60, 61, and 62 are all this single piece. It is listed in Doug Winter's book on New Orleans gold as the finest known example, but his condition census was published prior to the James Stack coin being encapsulated as MS 67, making this piece the second finest known. The most distinguishing mark on the coin is an irregular scratch between stars 6 and 7 on the upper obverse. Otherwise, the surfaces are lustrous and minimally abraded with pleasing, light reddish-golden color. Population: 1 in 62, only 1 finer (7/95).

1848-O $10 AU 58 PCGS. Somewhat softly struck as are most known examples of this issue. On this piece, the stars are flat and there is some weakness in the center of the obverse while the reverse is sharper than usual. Very lustrous with pleasing light to medium orange-gold color. There is a touch of friction on the high spots but no real wear. Superb quality for the issue.

Normal shield variety. This date is also seen with a hollow ring on the shield. In addition, the reverse with the normal shield has the mintmark positioned lower.

The 1848-O is one of the scarcer New Orleans eagles from the 1840s. It becomes rare in AU with approximately 14-16 pieces known. A current Condition Census for this date is as follows:

1. West Coast collection, Ex: Spectrum Numismatics; James A. Stack Collection (Stack's, 10/94), lot 1298 ($154,000). Graded MS 66 by PCGS; also graded MS 66 and MS 65 by NGC and still included on their population report as such.

2. Charley Tuppen Collection, Ex: Warren Miller Collection (Heritage, 10/95), lot 6264 ($16,500); (Bowers and Merena, 11/89), lot 1176. Graded MS 63 by PCGS; also graded MS 62 twice by PCGS and still included on their population report as such.

3. (Heritage, 10/94), lot 6889. Graded MS 60 by PCGS.

4. Acadiana Collection, Ex: Stack's 6/95, lot 819. Graded AU 58 by PCGS.

5. New York Gold Mart inventory 1993. Graded AU 58 by NGC.

1848-O AU 58. A rare coin in all grades, the '48-O is very elusive in AU and mint state with this piece being solidly in the middle of the condition census for the issue. The '48-O has the reputation for being the most poorly produced O-mint ten from the 1840s, but this piece does not bear out that assertion. While somewhat softly struck, there are several stars that show partial radial lines. The surfaces overall are very clean for a lightly circulated coin and show no obvious or detracting blemishes. Rich orange-gold color. This coin should be of great interest to rare gold collectors and dealers who specialize in this area. (PCGS# 8600)

1848-O $10 MS61 NGC. Normal Shield variety. This coin was previously offered as lot 7743 in our May 2000 Central States Signature Sale, where it was cataloged as: "The 1848-O Eagle, one of just 35,850 pieces struck at the New Orleans facility, after record production the year before, is an elusive and often overlooked issue in all grades and can be considered extremely scarce at the AU level. Only a handful of Mint State pieces are known. Both sides of this lustrous example display a mixture of the natural green-gold alloy and reddish patina, with moderate scuffiness in the fields. The highpoints of the obverse are somewhat ill-defined, as are most known examples of this issue, while the reverse is sharper than usual. An important No Motto Eagle for the Southern gold specialist." The coin realized $8,625. Population: 2 in 61, with a mere three finer (10/02).

1848-O $10 AU58 NGC. The 1848-O is a very scarce O-mint issue, and most survivors lack the substantial luster and relatively clean surfaces of the current example. This piece appears to have a shield ring atop the second vertical stripe, not uncommon to Eagles from this time period. However, the central strike is a bit soft, as always for the issue. One reason for this is that the dies are deeply hubbed, which made it more difficult for the strike to fill the recesses of the dies. Population: 9 in 58, 6 finer (10/05). (PCGS# 8600)

1848-O $10 AU 58 PCGS. The '48-O is a scarce coin in all grades with only 85-95 pieces believed extant today. In AU it is especially challenging with an estimated 7-8 coins believed known. While known for its weak striking characteristics, this '48-O is actually well defined on the reverse with the softness of detail reserved on this coin for the peripheral stars and Liberty's hair curls. Numerous light abrasions are peppered over each side, as one would expect from a coin of this grade, but the only ones of any note are a small cluster above star 12. (PCGS# 8600)

1848-O $10 AU55 PCGS. Olive-gold surfaces with wisps of satiny luster still visible around the stars, letters, numerals, and central devices. The desirability of the issue is belied by the moderate mintage of 35,850 pieces because comparatively few survivors can be found above the XF grade classification. Back in 1980 David Akers, who pioneered research on the condition rarities in the U.S. gold coinage series, wrote as follows about the 1848-O: "I have only seen two Uncirculated pieces and perhaps five or six AU's." The importance of the 1848-O as a condition rarity in grades higher than XF continues to be attested and celebrated by 21st-century numismatists. Population: 4 in 55, 8 finer (3/05). (PCGS# 8600)

1848-O $10 AU55 NGC. The 1848-O, with a mintage of 35,850 business strikes, is fairly common in low grades, becomes scarce to rare in AU, and is exceedingly rare in Mint State (Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2006). Indeed, NGC and PCGS combined have seen fewer than 15 Uncirculated examples. This Choice AU example exhibits considerable luster in its recessed areas. Yellow-gold patina occupies both sides, each of which reveals just a few trivial marks. Generally well defined, save for the star centers and hair at Liberty's ear. (PCGS# 8600)
