Description
Exceptionally Nice 1858-O $10 Eagle
1858-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
This is a beautiful Liberty Head eagle exhibiting vivid golden-rose color. Exceptionally frosty surfaces exhibit an abundance of mint luster. Central striking detail is razor sharp, a few of the peripheral devices a tad soft, yet not uncommonly so for a New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1850s. Impressively smooth for the assigned grade, this gorgeous coin will have tremendous appeal for both Liberty Head eagle specialists and New Orleans Mint enthusiasts. The 1858-O was produced to the extent of just 20,000 pieces, although it is widely regarded as the third most common New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1850s. Our use of the word "common" deserves qualification here, for all O-Mint tens from this decade are scarce to rare in an absolute sense. The typical survivor of this well circulated issue is in lower grades through EF, with an occasional AU-50 or AU-53. The present offering from the Fairmont Collection ranks as one of the finest circulated 1858-O eagles available to today's discerning gold collectors, and is worthy of the strongest bids.
PCGS# 8626. NGC ID: 263X.
