1880-O Ten Dollar, Semiprooflike MS61
Condition Rarity

1880-O $10 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. The stars are doubled and the O mintmark is slightly higher relative to the fletching than it is on the only other reverse used to strike 9,200 ten dollar gold pieces at the New Orleans Mint in 1880. The facility had just resumed coining operations the year before after a hiatus dating back to the start of the Civil War. These 1880-O eagles are almost invariably offered in circulated condition. Mint State coins are rare and nearly all of them grade between MS60 and MS62. Many are found with semiprooflike surfaces, as is the case here. The fields on each side are partly reflective, surrounding boldly struck devices. Lines occur on each side, limiting the grade, but they are more prevalent on the obverse than the reverse. Examples this fine are seldom available. Population: 7 in 61, 1 finer (5/22).(Registry values: N4719)
