Losbeschreibung

A rare PL-designated 1883 eagle certified by NGC, this is a lovely coin that is sure to elicit strong bids from advanced gold enthusiasts. Warmly patinated in honey-orange, both sides exhibit a backdrop of glassy reflectivity in the fields supporting frosty, smartly impressed design elements. The 1883 tells a familiar story for an 1880s ten-dollar gold issue. Once considered moderately scarce, due in no small part to a limited mintage of 208,700 circulation strikes, the population of uncirculated examples has swelled in recent decades thanks to repatriations from European bank hoards. The issue is still conditionally rare in Choice and Gem Mint State grades - again a familiar story - as well as with a fully Prooflike finish, as here.
