Congratulations to the ELLE COLLECTION on adding this superb Type 1 No Motto New Orleans Gold Eagle!
1844-O $10 Gold Liberty AU 53 A+
Mintage: 118,700
Population (all grades): 593
Population AU53: 80
In 1844, the New Orleans Mint struck 118,700 $10 gold coins, and today just 593 coins have been certified in all grades. That's just one-half of one-percent of the original mintage that is known to have survived.
In AU53 grade, NGC and PCGS combined have certified just 80 coins. 1844-O eagles are typically found in Very Fine to Extra Fine grades. In About Uncirculated, this date is quite scarce.
Most 1844-O eagles are found with heavily abraded surfaces. However, this example is a premium quality example with very clean surfaces.
