RARE PCGS AU55 1849-O $10.00
The 1849-O is among the scarcest No Motto eagles from New Orleans. It has proven to be a very hard issue to locate in AU55, and it is very rare in properly graded AU58. I am aware of just two or three BU examples with one in the Tyrant Collection (PCGS MS61) and another in the New England Collection (NGC MS60).
This piece is bright and frosty with typical softness of strike on the stars. A few shallow handling marks show in the fields as expected for this issue.
There has been just a single APR for this date in PCGS AU55 since October 2000 (!) and that was the SB 2022 ANA: 3247 coin which sold for $14,400. And going down a grade to AU53, there have been just two coins sold since October 2012.
A pleasing example.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL HAVE A PCGS AU58 EXAMPLE OF THIS DATE FOR SALE IN THE COMING WEEKS.
