1883-O $10 Liberty Gold NGC AU-58 CAC

The New Orleans Mint struck Liberty Head Eagles in relatively modest quantities throughout the 1880s, and the 1883-O is a date that rewards patient collectors who seek well-preserved examples. Issued at a mint better known for its silver production, this $10 gold piece represents one of the more collectible issues in the pre-1933 Liberty Gold eagle series. The New Orleans facility lent a distinctive character to its gold coinage, and survivors in About Uncirculated grades are genuinely sought after.

The obverse presents the classic Liberty Head portrait by Christian Gobrecht, her coronet inscribed LIBERTY, framed by thirteen stars and the date 1883 below. The portrait retains bold definition with well-struck curls and sharp facial features. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch, with the denomination TEN D. at the base and the New Orleans mintmark O clearly visible below the eagle - a detail confirming the coin's origin at one of America's most storied branch mints.

NGC has graded this coin AU-58, the highest About Uncirculated designation, indicating only the slightest trace of wear on the highest points with substantial original mint luster still present. The coin has also earned a CAC sticker, confirming that it meets the standard for quality within its assigned grade. For those seeking a choice, sticker-approved New Orleans Liberty Gold eagle at a collectible grade, this coin offers genuine appeal. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
