1852-O $10 AU53 PCGS CAC

The second lowest mintage for a New Orleans Eagle, 1852-O $10 is one of the rarest No Motto Eagles in the entire series. As Doug Winter states "I regard this as a very undervalued date that has still not received the merit it deserves, especially in higher grades." From a paltry mintage of 18,000, 110 are known today in all grades. AU50 CAC examples have sold for $9,000 08/21 HA and $12,295 11/16 HA, and a higher graded AU55 sold for $16,800 08/22 ST, whilst a Fairmont 53 went cheap. This is clearly not an ex Fairmont piece. We sold another AU53 PCGS CAC this year for over $13,000. The present example has beautiful yellow-sun gold with tremendous amount of luster for an AU53. Furthermore, it features un-characteristically mark-free surface. Interestingly, only 1 or 2 are known in UNC. CAC and PCGS Guide $12,000.
