- Noteworthy Choice AU 1855-O $10 Gold 1855-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Beautiful honey-gold in color, with delicate olive highlights also very much in evidence. Soft, frosty mint luster remains virtually intact over surfaces that are free of all but trivial signs of handling. Well struck with most features sharply rendered. One of the leading rarities among New Orleans Mint eagles, the 1855-O has a low mintage of just 18,000 coins. Survivors are similar in rarity to the 1856-O and 1857-O eagles and typically grade no finer than EF. Recent shipwreck finds have not significantly increased the supply of high grade examples, only seven or eight 1855-O eagles were included among the treasure of the S.S. Republic. The offered coin from the Fairmont Collection is most definitely not a shipwreck find, as it displays unquestionable originality. With Mint State coins all but unknown, this impressive AU-55 would serve as a highlight in an advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. PCGS Population: 7; 5 finer, 2 of which are Mint State (both MS-61). CAC Population: 3 in all AU grades; 0 in Mint State. To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here.
