Description
1879-O Liberty Gold $10 PCGS XF45 With an estimated survival rate of 4-5 dozen by Doug Winter, any 79-O is rare from an original mintage of 1500 coins. With a mintage so small it is expected that lack of wear on the dies would produce some proof like coins and this one has reflective fields and a strong strike, only diminished by wear and contact marks. The New Orleans mint resumed the striking of gold coins in 1879 and not many with the $20 only getting a few hundred more. Quite a rare coin in a nice circulated grade
