1880-O Ten Dollar, Near-Mint
Better New Orleans Issue

1880-O $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The New Orleans Mint re-opened in 1879, following many years of inactivity, with the primary purpose of helping the other mints strike silver dollars. During the 1880s, the Southern facility struck only Morgans, aside from a few low mintage ten dollar issues. The 1880-O eagle is less rare than its 1879-O predecessor, but scarcer than the 1881-O. Only 9,200 pieces were produced, and near-Mint examples are seldom encountered. This peach-gold example is well defined and exhibits ample luster. We note a diagonal field mark behind Liberty's neck. Census: 33 in 58 (1 in 58+), 8 finer (6/21).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265U, PCGS# 8689, Greysheet# 9492)
