Description

Scarce AU 1855-O Liberty Eagle

1855-O $10 AU 50 PCGS. An absolute and condition rarity among New Orleans eagles that compares favorably with most No Motto issues from the storied Southern mint, including some with mintages that are lower than the 18,000 pieces struck of the '55-O. This well balanced example is overlaid in reddish patina and shows a few shallow cuts in the left obverse field, along with a somewhat deeper, diagonal mark near the back of the neck. There is minor softness on the highpoints that must be attributed to strike. Population: 12 in 50, 10 finer (2/00).
