1897-O $10 MS (PCGS#8738)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1897-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. A gorgeous Mint State example that ranks among the finer survivors of this late date New Orleans Mint gold issue. This piece is brightly lustrous with a softly frosted, golden-apricot appearance to both sides. The major design elements are crisply delineated from a sharp strike, and the surfaces are smooth enough to suggest a choice Mint State classification upon first glance. The 1897-O has a mintage of just 42,500 pieces, and it is among the scarcer Motto Liberty Eagles from the New Orleans Mint. At PCGS MS-62, the offered coin from the Fairmont holdings represents the finest realistically obtainable for most of today's gold collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
