<B>1897-O $10 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> The 1897-O ten dollar, with its mintage of 42,500 pieces, is rare in any grade above MS63. Moreover, Douglas Winter mentions in <I>Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, 1839 - 1909</B></I>, that "Most 1897-O eagles are very heavily abraded ... ."<BR> The current near-Gem displays dazzling luster that radiates from yellow-gold surfaces laced with whispers of orange. A well executed strike sharpens most of the design elements, with the exception of softness on several of the star centers, which is typical for the issue. While a few minuscule marks preclude full Gem classification, the surfaces of this piece are far from being "very heavily abraded." Population: 8 in 64, 2 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
