Description du lot

Frosty to semi-prooflike surfaces with an impressively smooth appearance for the assigned grade. Handsome medium gold color with a tinge of orange-olive also evident. Thanks to the repatriation of a fair number of examples from foreign bank hoards, the 1888-O is one of the most available New Orleans Mint eagles in today's market. It is still a conditionally challenging issue, however, and with so few coins certified finer than MS-62 this premium quality AU-55 example is sure to appeal to quality conscious gold enthusiasts.
