PCGS AU53 1850-O EAGLE
The 1850-O is the 10th rarest of 21 New Orleans No Motto eagles. It is sometimes available in the lower AU grades but it becomes very scarce in the higher AU grades and it is extremely rare in Uncirculated with just two or three known.
This piece shows intense reddish-gold toning on the obverse with a much more sedate green-gold reverse. The strike is typical for the date while the surfaces show a number of light abrasions which limit the grade. A mint-made grease stain can be seen on the obverse below stars eight and nine.
Since 2002, just three PCGS AU53 1850-O eagles have sold at auction and the most recent brought $3,408 as Legend 6/15: 423.
