Conditionally Rare 1882-O Eagle

1882-O $10 MS 61 NGC. The 1879-O is generally regarded as the rarest O-mint issue in the later Liberty eagle series. When compared to this issue, however, the 1880-O (9,200 pieces produced), 1881-O (8,350 pieces produced), and 1882-O (10,820 pieces produced) are probably the three most underrated New Orleans deliveries in this series. According to Winter, the '82-O has an extant population of perhaps 110 coins, only 3-4 of which have pierced the Mint State threshold. NGC and PCGS have seen 14 coins in all Mint State grades (12/00), but there is still no denying the conditionally rare status of the present offering. This is a moderately prooflike example with noticeable brightness in the fields. The strike is razor sharp throughout and the original orange-gold color presents an appealing appearance despite grade-limiting abrasions. A fleeting opportunity for the advanced gold collector.
