Description
Rare 1879-O Ten, AU Details
1879-O $10 --Harshly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. The Civil War closed the doors of the New Orleans Mint in 1861, but the facility re-opened in 1879 to assist in the unprecedented production of Morgan dollars needed to fulfill the Bland-Allison Act. That year, New Orleans also struck 1,500 eagles, the first gold coins from the facility since its was controlled by the Confederacy. Perhaps 100 pieces survive, generally in XF and AU grades. The present piece has minimal actual wear, but both sides are thickly hairlined and the fields have been smoothed near Liberty's profile and the eagle's neck.(Registry values: N4719)Auction Info
