1856-O Eagle, AU50
Important New Orleans Issue

1856-O $10 AU50 PCGS. Variety 2. The New Orleans Mint produced the four standard gold denominations in 1856, with small mintages for each. The double eagle is a well-known rarity, while the quarter eagle, half eagle, and eagle each had modest mintages. For the eagles, production was just 14,500 coins. One obverse die was paired with three reverses, respectively featuring a low, medium, and high mintmark. This pleasing AU example has straw-gold surfaces with scattered marks and considerable luster.
