Liberty Eagles
1841-O $10 -- Harshly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Variety 1. The inaugural coinage of gold eagles at the New Orleans Mint, in 1841, amounted to all of 2,500 coins. NGC and PCGS combined report just more than 100 survivors, although there is likely duplication in the published population. A better estimate is 50 to 75 pieces. None are known in Mint State. This AU-level coin would be among the finest known were it not thoroughly cleaned with bright yellow-gold surfaces. Sharp detail remains on the devices, and light, scattered marks are not unusual for the grade.
