详细说明

An incredibly attractive piece bathed in vivid apricot hues overtop a deep orange-gold color. The richly frosted complexion reveals substantial reflectivity in the fields. Both sides are boldly to sharply struck, especially at the focal features, and remain free of any individual distractions. The 1882-O is the most frequently encountered New Orleans Mint eagle of the 1880 to 1882 era, although we stress that all three are low mintage rarities. The present example is one of the finest survivors from a 10,820-piece delivery, most of which are circulated to one degree or another. Of the approximately 350 coins extant, only around 15 to 20 distinct examples are thought to remain in Mint State grades. This piece qualifies as Condition Census and would make an impressive addition to an advanced collection of Liberty Head eagles or New Orleans Mint coinage.
