Description
1879-O Liberty Eagle, XF45
First Post-Civil War New Orleans Issue
1879-O $10 XF45 NGC. Variety 1. The New Orleans Mint ceased
operations in the early days of the Civil War, with the last
coinage issues struck in 1861. Following a brief episode of
Confederate operation, the mint closed doors later in 1861.
Operations remained dormant until 1879 when all coinage facilities
were required to meet the terms of the Bland-Allison Act. A few
gold eagles and double eagles were minted in 1879 while coinage
production that year was primarily limited to Morgan dollars.
Relatively few of the 1,500 1879-O eagles survive today. PCGS
CoinFacts estimates the surviving population at 75 to 100 examples
in all grades. This lovely, lightly worn greenish-gold example has
traces of luster and pleasing surfaces that show only trivial
handling marks. Census: 11 in 45, 29 finer (7/24).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265P, PCGS# 8685, Greysheet# 9489)
Weight: 16.72 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
