Description

1906-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. MS-64 (PCGS).
Luxurious deep rose-orange color and attractive mint luster are seen on both sides of this sharply struck, carefully preserved example. The 1906-O is the final New Orleans Mint eagle, and the penultimate gold issue from this Southern coinage facility (the final is the 1909-O Indian half eagle). It is among the scarcer New Orleans Mint tens of the Motto design type, although locating an example in the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range should prove fairly easy under normal market conditions. As a solidly graded Choice Uncirculated is rare from a condition standpoint and would make an impressive addition to an advanced gold cabinet.
PCGS# 8761. NGC ID: 2687.
PCGS Population: 21; 11 finer (MS-66 finest).

Estimate: $9750
