详细说明: Condition Rarity 1888-O Eagle Population: 1/0 1888-O Liberty Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. This amazing example is the very finest certified by either grading service of the date and mint. There are none that compare to its elegant appeal and attractive surfaces. The strike is sharp and there are no deep or detracting marks. The mintage from New Orleans for eagles in 1888 halted after 21,335 pieces were struck. The mintage of gold at New Orleans was modest after the Civil War. The facility was closed from 1861 through 1878, when it was remodeled, after which coinage recommenced in 1879. From then through the last year of operations, 1909, gold coins were made intermittently. Most production was accomplished at the other mints. Perhaps someone long ago took this 1888 New Orleans eagle home to remember an important transaction or life event or maybe they just liked the neat date -- 1888. Whatever the reason for its survival, here is the finest known of this very scarce issue. PCGS# 8713. PCGS Population: 1; none finer.
