Description
1880-O Ten Dollar Gold, MS61
The Usual Variety
1880-O $10 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. One obverse die and two
reverse dies were utilized to produce 9,200 gold eagles at the New
Orleans Mint in 1880. This High Mintmark variety is the normal die
pair encountered on most surviving examples of that mintage.
Prominent die lines in the dentils over CA of AMERICA are the
outstanding feature of this die. These 1880-O eagles are rarely
encountered in Mint State grades with just two dozen such pieces
certified at NGC and PCGS, combined. Just three of those
submissions are finer than the present sharply struck piece that
displays light field-to-device contrast. The orange-gold surfaces
are brilliant and lustrous. Census: 5 in 61, 1 finer
(6/23).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265U, PCGS# 8689, Greysheet# 9492)
Weight: 16.72 grams
