1906-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. MS-62 (NGC). CAC.Wonderfully original deep honey-orange patina mingles with richly frosted luster on both sides of this sharp and inviting example. The 1906-O is the final New Orleans Mint eagle, and the penultimate gold issue from this Southern coinage facility (the final is the 1909-O Indian half eagle). It is among the scarcer New Orleans Mint tens of the Motto design type, although locating an example in the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range should prove fairly easy under normal market conditions. The present offering, premium quality for the assigned grade, would do equally well in a mintmarked gold type set or a specialized cabinet.
