Elusive 1850-O Eagle, AU53

1850-O $10 AU53 NGC. The current offering is another condition rarity in the Liberty No Motto eagle series. The combined NGC and PCGS population data documents seven examples at the Mint State level, although Doug Winter opines that the Eliasberg coin (MS65 PCGS) is the only Uncirculated 1850-O ten in existence--the other six coins are listed in the NGC Census Report as MS60 specimens. The reality is that most collectors, regardless of finances, must gladly accept a lightly circulated example for inclusion in their sets. It is not a matter of waiting, but rather a factor of availability; only a few Mint State pieces have weathered the relentless perils of time. We proudly offer this example, which retains a significant amount of reflectivity in the fields on each side. The surfaces are lightly abraded and there are a number of small abrasions peppered over both the obverse and reverse. Census: 25 in 53, 35 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N2998)
