1852-O $10 MS (PCGS#8609)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1852-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). A pleasing low-mintage survivor with considerable luster surrounding the design elements on each side. The complexion is a pale ivory-gold hue with a dusting of peach on the high points and scattered darker patina in the fields. Nicely defined for an O-mint ten from the 1850s, and the surfaces remain free from distractions beneath a glass. One of the most elusive No Motto Liberty eagles from the New Orleans Mint, the 1852-O has an extant population of fewer than 100 coins from a mintage of 18,000 pieces. It is the fifth rarest O-Mint issue of its type, a ranking it shares with the 1855-O and 1856-O. Sure to see spirited bidding, the coin offered here will serve with distinction in a specialized collection of Liberty eagles or Southern gold Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS# 8609.
