Description
1879-O Eagle, AU53
Rare in All Grades
1879-O $10 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1. The only variety known. In
1879, the New Orleans Mint began producing eagles again for the
first time since 1860. The mintage of eagles in this year was a
mere 1,500 coins, the second-lowest mintage of any eagle from this
Mint. Douglas Winter (2006) estimates the total known to be 115 to
135 pieces. The PCGS website, on the other hand, suggests that 75
to 100 are known. This service has seen 40 pieces, all grading Very
Fine to AU58. NGC has graded 45 examples, the finest a solitary
MS61.The present AU53 specimen displays yellow-gold partially prooflike surfaces that exhibit sharply struck design elements. Distributed light marks are noted but are nowhere as frequent or severe as usually seen on this issue. Population: 5 in 53, 10 finer (11/13).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265P, PCGS# 8685, Greysheet# 9489)
Weight: 16.72 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
