A scarce New Orleans–minted Gold Eagle. The issue had a modest mintage of just 42,500 coins, and most entered circulation, making true Mint State survivors highly desirable. This coin displays vibrant satiny luster across rich golden surfaces, with only light contact marks, fewer than is typical for the grade. Liberty’s portrait is sharply struck, as is the eagle on the reverse. Just 5 coins have graded finer at NGC.
