Description

1879-O Ten Dollar, AU55
Very Challenging to Locate in Higher Grades

1879-O $10 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. With a mintage of only 1,500 pieces only one pair of dies was required. The 1879-O ten dollar has the second lowest mintage of any O-mint ten -- and of any New Orleans gold issue for that matter. NGC has certified only three examples in mint condition (one MS60 and two in MS61), and PCGS has certified two Uncirculated pieces (one MS60 and one MS61), making it virtually impossible to find an 1879-O eagle finer than the present Choice AU. Pleasing yellow-gold patina drapes the surfaces of this seldom offered rarity. Both sides show scattered abrasions, which is typical for the issue, but there are no marks of any significance. This sharply struck representative has just a trace of weakness on the hair above Liberty's ear and the stars. Significant luster gleams from the protected areas and gives this piece lovely eye appeal.
