1879-O Ten Dollar, XF45
Only 35-40 Pieces Extant in XF

1879-O $10 XF45 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. Ex: Blue Hill Collection. The mintage of only 1,500 pieces is the first tip-off that the 1879-O ten is a key issue. This is the second-lowest mintage among O-mint tens, second only to the 1883-O which had a production run that only lasted through 800 pieces. The 1879-O was heavily circulated at the time of issue, and most of the surviving examples are heavily abraded. A number of small to medium-sized abrasions are scattered over each side of this piece, but the one that may be most useful as a pedigree identifier is a horizontal mark or depression in the right obverse field. We cannot be certain, but this may be a strike-through that was in the planchet at the time of manufacture. The surfaces are original and exhibit deep orange-gold color. Only 35-40 pieces are believed known in XF condition of this O-mint rarity.(Registry values: N2998)
