Lot Description

Uncommonly well preserved for this conditionally challenging issue, both sides of this handsome coin are fully original with warm honey-orange color. Sharply struck with frosty mint luster throughout. Relatively obtainable by late date New Orleans Mint eagle standards, the 1901-O (72,041 pieces produced) has been well enough represented in repatriations from foreign bank hoards that the collector should experience little difficulty in locating a low end uncirculated example in MS-61 or MS-62. At the Choice and Gem grade levels, however, the rarity of this issue comes readily to the fore. A significant offering for both New Orleans Mint specialists and advanced gold enthusiasts.
