Pleasing 1854-O Large Date Eagle, AU55

1854-O $10 Large Date AU55 NGC. The 1 in the date is evenly spaced between the denticles and the bust on this variety. Although it is not known exactly what the distribution of the 52,500 pieces minted is between the Large and Small Date varieties, it is generally held that the Large Date is scarcer overall than its counterpart. Impressive luster is visible in the protected areas of the obverse and throughout all of the reverse. The strike is sharp in the centers, but slightly weak around the periphery with the stars and the tips of the wings a little soft. A delightful example of this interesting issue, which features the largest date punch by far on any New Orleans eagle. (Registry values: N1793)
