Scarce 1845-O Eagle, AU50

1845-O $10 AU50 NGC. The 84 in the date is repunched slightly above the original punch, and there are also die scratches (as made) through the TY in LIBERTY. On the reverse, the mintmark is centered above the N in TEN. The 1845-O's mintage of 47,500 pieces is relatively low compared to other New Orleans tens, and Garrett and Guth (2006) write that it is "very rare in AU condition." Delightful yellow-gold patina overlies the surfaces, and there is significant luster still present in the fields. The stars are flat, and the curls are weakly struck, as typically seen, but the reverse shows excellent detail on the eagle. There are scattered marks throughout, but none are worthy of individual mention. (Registry values: N2998)
