A pleasing Mint State example of this better New Orleans issue, displaying rich original golden color with subtle deeper honey accents. The obverse shows strong definition to Liberty’s portrait, with scattered light marks consistent with the grade. Luster is even and satiny, enlivening the fields and devices. The reverse is well detailed, with a bold eagle and clear shield lines. Overall surfaces are attractive and balanced, offering solid eye appeal on this fully original New Orleans Ten. Just 17,000 minted with this coin being tied for the finest graded at PCGS or NGC!
