1855-O Ten Dollar, AU50
Scarcer O-Mint No Motto Eagle

1855-O $10 AU50 PCGS. Variety 2. In the subset of No Motto New Orleans eagles, the 1855-O is tied for third scarcest in overall rarity and tied for fourth scarcest in high-grade rarity. The best indication of this date's scarcity in higher grades is that this piece is among the lowest graded No Motto New Orleans eagles in the Jacobson Collection -- only the 1841-O (an XF45) grades below AU50.

There has not been a single PCGS-certified AU50 example of this date sold at auction since January 2009, and only one PCGS AU53 was sold in that same time frame (in January 2015) for $5,640.

Light friction is seen over each side and the coin is uniform yellow-gold. A few small abrasions are scattered across each side. Given the fact that the coin is likely to sell for less than $5,000, it ranks as one of the better values in the entire Jacobson Collection.
