Description
Desirable Near-Mint 1881-O Gold Eagle
1881-O $10 AU58 NGC. Garrett and Guth (2006) observe that: "...in Mint State, the 1881-O is a great rarity. Of the dozen or so Mint State pieces graded by NGC and PCGS, none have been graded higher than MS-61 except for a single MS-63 example graded long ago by NGC (a coin that no one but them seems to have seen)!" Thus, near-Mint specimens such as this one are highly desirable. Well struck and only faintly worn, with splotches of deep crimson-red (from an imperfect alloy mixture) on the obverse. (Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265Y, PCGS# 8693, GSID# 9495)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 16.72 grams
