1855-O Ten Dollar Liberty, AU58
Variety 2, Normal Date

1855-O $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 2. Doug Winter reported two varieties of 1855-O eagles, one with a repunched date and the other with a normal date as offered here. Our own analysis suggests that the first variety is actually the result of machine doubling. However, additional varieties may be awaiting discovery as four obverse dies were shipped to New Orleans for the 1855-O eagle coinage. The 18,000 coin mintage was a sharp drop from previous years as the San Francisco Mint operated for their first full year in 1855. This example ranks among the finest of survivors. Just two Mint State pieces are known, along with a small number of AU58 and AU55 examples. While lightly marked, this example has nearly full mint luster with satiny yellow-gold surfaces. An appealing example for the advanced collector. Census: 10 in 58, 0 finer (10/20).(Registry values: N4719)
