Offered is a well produced and preserved example of this popular early New Orleans Mint Liberty eagle. Whereas many 1843-O tens are softly struck in and around the central obverse, this coin exhibits bold to sharp definition throughout the design. There is enough detail in evidence to suggest an AU grade, although accuracy does compel us to mention a touch of light glossiness to the surface texture. At 175,162 pieces produced, the 1843-O has the second highest mintage among 1840s New Orleans Mint eagle and in grades such as EF and low-end AU the date represents a particularly attractive option for the mintmarked gold type collector seeking an example of the No Motto Liberty design.,,PCGS# 8589.
