A very pleasing example of this very scarce New Orleans date eagle. Only 18,000 examples were struck, and in his latest revision of his work on New Orleans, Doug Winter estiamtes that 125-150 survive in all grades, 28-37 in the AU range, and just 2-3 finer. Copious quantities of original luster survives in the fields of this CHOICE AU 52-O. A generally well struck Winter-1 variety, with the O mint mark centered between EN of states. The surfaces are minimally abraded, displaying just minor traces of contact. The eye appeal is excellent for an example of this date, and we really don't understand why CAC did not bean this one. We really like it. PCGS 18, NGC 25. Two examples sold in 2020, one in February for $8,700 and one in November for $7,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $10,000. Just half a dozen have graded finer and the most recent AU58 sold for $20,400 in November 2020 and PCGS has graded just a single MS60 finer, the former Byron Reed coin, which is now impounded in the D.L. Hansen Collection. This is a very rare opportunity for the collector. Good luck. Cert. Number 25397700 PCGS # 8609.00
