Original Near-Mint 1854-O Small Date Ten

1854-O $10 Small Date AU58 NGC. A scarce New Orleans issue whose mintage of 52,500 pieces is roughly equally divided into the Small Date and Large Date varieties. These should be renamed Normal Date and Huge Date, since the Small Date is only small by comparison with the Large Date, which obviously uses a date punch intended for a larger diameter coin. The present partly lustrous example retains its original skin and is only moderately abraded. Well struck aside from selected star centers. Census: 41 in 58, 2 finer (4/08).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28EC, PCGS# 8614, Greysheet# 9445)

Weight: 16.72 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
