Description

1879-O Eagle, Sharp AU58
Key O-Mint Issue,
Only 1,500 Pieces Produced

1879-O $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The tiny mintage of 1,500 pieces ensured that the 1879-O ten dollar would be a rarity in all grades. NGC and PCGS have graded fewer than 100 coins, including only three Mint State pieces, a PCGS MS60 and one MS61 from both NGC and PCGS. As expected, near-Mint coins, such as the current offering, are extremely rare. Indeed, the certified population of 14 AU58 examples is probably inflated, due to resubmissions in the hope of obtaining Mint State classification.

The yellow-gold surfaces of this specimen display semiprooflike fields that yield mild contrast with the motifs. The strike is uniformly sharp, with just a hint of weakness in the hair around Liberty's ear. Several marks are distributed over both sides, but these are relatively light. All in all, this coin generates above-average eye appeal. Census: 7 in 58, 2 finer (10/16).
