1860-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU Details--Cleaning (PCGS).Overall sharp definition and traces of a decidedly prooflike finish are strong suits for this scarce and desirable New Orleans Mint eagle. Glossy in texture with noticeable hairlining to explain the PCGS qualifier. In a series replete with scarce and underrated issues, the 1860-O stands out as a particularly challenging Liberty Head eagle to collect. The present example is an above average (in terms of remaining detail) survivor from a paltry mintage of 11,100 pieces that suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation and melting.From the Paisley Acres Collection.
