1854-O $10 Small Date MS (PCGS#8614)

The Summer 2022 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: 1854-O Liberty Head Eagle. Small Date. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). Deep, rich, vivid color in honey-orange blankets both sides and delivers exceptional eye appeal. The technical quality is also superior, with nearly full mint luster and only small, wispy handling marks. Well struck for an O-Mint gold coin from the early 1850s, the focal features in and around the centers are generally sharp. The 1854-O eagle was produced to the extent of just 52,000 pieces, survivors displaying either a Small Date or Large Date logotype. The former is scarce in AU and rare in Mint State, this being one of the nicest examples that we can ever recall offering. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 10; with a single MS-60 finer. PCGS# 8614. NGC ID: 263H. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
