We would like to congratulate the QUANTUM LEAP COLLECTION for adding
this hard to locate piece to an already impressive collection!
1882-O $10 Gold Liberty PCGS AU 55
Mintage: 10,820
Population in all grades (NGC/PCGS): 378
Population in AU55 (NGC/PCGS):65
The 1882-O eagle has an original mintage of just 10,820 coins. Today,
less than 400 examples are certified in all grades by both NGC and PCGS.
When available, the 1882-O eagle is typically found in Very Fine (VF)
to Extra-Fine grades (XF). In lower About Uncirculated grades (AU) this
date starts to become scarce. AU55 to AU58 examples are rare, and in
Uncirculated grades, this date is very rare.
Combined, NGC and
PCGS have certified just 65 1882-O eagles in AU55. Finding a completely
original coin in an AU55 grade like this example is extremely difficult.
