Description

1879-O Fine 12. This is the second lowest mintage of any eagle from the New Orleans mint, with a production of 1,500 pieces. Of the few collectible coins, most all are circulated and predominately grade VF and XF. This specimen may hold the dubious honor of being the lowest, or one of the lowest, grades known. This, however, is not to say this is a bad coin, as it is just worn, not damaged or abraded. This grade is unlisted in Trends and should prove to be an attractive opportunity to acquire this very rare date.
