1880-O Ten Dollar, MS62
Likely the Second-Finest Known
CAC Approved

1880-O $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2. The 1880-O is the third scarcest With Motto eagle from New Orleans after the rare 1883-O and 1879-O issues. Due to recent finds in European hoards, it has become more obtainable in circulated grades, but remains rare in Uncirculated with fewer than 10 pieces extant.

This is the second finest known 1880-O eagle and it is exceeded only by a PCGS MS64 which sold in the Baltimore Auction (Stack's Bowers, 3/2017), lot 3120 for a record-smashing $129,250. The Jacobson coin is the next highest graded by PCGS (and the only MS62 from this service). The third finest is likely the NGC MS62 in the New England Collection.

This piece has never before appeared for sale at auction and it represents an important opportunity for the advanced collector of New Orleans eagles. CAC endorsed, it displays satiny, minimally marked luster in rich straw-gold hues. Eye appeal is outstanding for the grade. CAC: 1 in 62, 0 finer (1/20).
