Description
Rare, Low-Mintage 1841-O Eagle, AU53
Well-Struck and Minimally Marked
1841-O $10 AU53 NGC. Variety 1. The only variety known. The
1841-O ten dollar is a highly popular issue, owing to it being the
first date of the denomination to be struck at the New Orleans
Mint, its extremely low mintage of 2,500 pieces, its overall
rarity, and the lack of high-grade survivors. The PCGS website
estimates a mere 50 to 75 coins known. NGC has certified just 47
examples, the finest an AU58, and PCGS has seen 53 specimens, the
finest again an AU58.Bright, brass-gold coloration on this AU53 offering reaches out to the observer. Well-struck design elements include the star radials and Liberty's hair curls, elements that are weak on the majority of specimens. While both sides reveal a few small circulation marks, the surfaces are not excessively abraded with the deep detracting marks ordinarily encountered on most survivors. These factors result in this coin having much better eye appeal than typically seen for the date. Census: 6 in 53,76 finer (11/13).
