1854-O Large Date Ten Dollar, AU58
Rare in Uncirculated

1854-O $10 Large Date AU58 PCGS. Variety 2. The Large Date 1854-O ten dollar is more available than its Small Date counterpart, but it has always been more highly regarded. The Large Date has become less rare in lower-to-mid About Uncirculated condition than it was a decade ago due to examples that were discovered in European banks; however, it remains very scarce in AU58 and rare in Uncirculated. There are two examples known in MS63 (an NGC coin in the Tyrant Collection and a PCGS MS63 in the New England Collection) as well as another five to seven coins in the MS60 to MS61 range.

Not a single PCGS AU58 1854-O Large Date eagle has appeared at auction since May 2005, which would lead most observers to conclude that the PCGS population of 18 coins in this grade is significantly inflated by resubmissions. The surfaces show the usual "sunken" appearance, which weakens the central details. Significant mint luster remains and there are no abrasions worthy of mention, just the usual die cracks associated with this later state of the Variety 2 die pairing.
