Lot 1538
1894-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. In NGC holder 4513390-007. A fabulous example, well struck and gleaming with semi-reflective mint luster. A most eye appealing eagle exhibiting golden mint bloom color with natural iridescense at the extreme borders. Brilliant and lustrous examples of this issue are rarely offered. The devices being frosty and the fields exhibiting a form intermediate between frostiness and prooflike, the effect is most desirable. As expected, design features are sharp including the feathers on the eagle's legs, tail, wings, and neck. This piece is also noteworthy as one of the few high grade survivors from the small mintage at New Orleans. The presently offered MS64 specimen also happens to be among the finest known as is readily confirmed by the population data: Pop 2; 1 finer by a point (PCGS # 8730) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 20,000.
