1879-O $10 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. This year, 1879, saw the
return to coining operations for the New Orleans Mint. Officials at
the Louisiana facility accomplished a mintage of 1,500 ten dollar
gold pieces. Doug Winter writes: "The 1879-O is the second rarest
With Motto eagle from New Orleans. Fewer than 100 are known ... and
most are heavily abraded pieces which grade from EF40-AU50. This
date becomes quite rare in higher AU grades, and there are just 2-3
known in Uncirculated with none finer than MS61." This Choice AU
coin features characteristically abraded orange-gold surfaces and
remarkable strike definition. Census: 8 in 55 (1 in 55+★ ),
