Description
Notable Near-Mint 1879-O Ten Dollar
1879-O $10 AU58 NGC. In Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, Doug Winter lays out the case for this post-Reconstruction New Orleans issue: "The 1879-O has the second lowest mintage figure of any New Orleans eagle and the second lowest mintage figure for any gold coin struck at this mint. It is the third rarest New Orleans eagle in terms of overall rarity ... ."With just one Mint State example in the combined certified population (10/10), the dedicated collector must turn to a near-Mint example such as the present coin to complete a New Orleans eagle candidate. Pale wheat-gold surfaces show numerous fine abrasions but also generous luster, including prominent reflectivity close to the rims.
