Liberty Eagles
1860-O $10 XF45 PCGS. Although the ten dollar gold series is rich in rarities and notoriously challenging when it comes to branch mint issues, the 1860-O is moderately available given its low mintage of only 11,100 pieces. Somewhere in the vicinity of 115 to 135 pieces are known to exist. That said, the issue is not nearly as available with original surfaces and attractive, natural color. This Choice XF example fulfills those much-desired characteristics. Medium to deep orange-gold coloration conveys a reddish tinge at the borders. Traces of prooflike surface join mint luster is sheltered areas. The strike is strong and abrasions, although frequent, are universally minor. A Choice coin for the eagle connoisseur. Population: 35 in 45, 66 finer (9/17).
