Description
1879-O Eagle, Sharp AU58
Key New Orleans Issue
Only 1,500 Pieces Produced
1879-O $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. A tiny mintage of 1,500
pieces ensured from the outset 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 each at NGC and PCGS. As expected, near-Mint coins like the
current offering are rare. Indeed, the certified population of 14
AU58 examples is probably inflated by resubmissions sent in with
the hope of obtaining a Mint State classification.The yellow-gold surfaces of this specimen display semiprooflike fields that contrast moderately against the motifs. The strike is uniformly sharp with just a hint of softness on the hair strands around Liberty's ear. Several marks appear over each, but they are relatively light. Eye appeal for this important rarity is decidedly above-average. Census: 7 in 58, 2 finer (2/19).(Registry values: N4719)
