Description

Broadstruck 1893-O Eagle, AU58
Rare New Orleans Mint Gold Error

1893-O $10 Liberty Eagle--Broadstruck Out of Collar--AU58 PCGS. The collar die was obstructed when the present piece was coined. The rim is exceptionally wide between 6 and 9 o'clock. The reverse displays a thick wire rim between 9 and 12 o'clock. Sharply struck with a considerable portion of the original, flashy mint luster still present, this example lacks the bagmarks that often plague later-dated O-mint varieties. Federal gold coins are much rarer broadstruck than their silver and copper counterparts. The New Orleans mintmark, associated with low mintages, adds considerably to the desirability of this rarity.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2002), lot 8305, which realized $7,475; Henderson Collection of U.S. Gold Errors (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 2483, which realized $8,625.
