Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this issue had a low original mintage of just 14,500 coins. Very few examples survived circulation in high grades, and most are seen well-worn or impaired. This PCGS AU58 specimen is a standout. Radiating with honey-toned surfaces and vibrant remaining luster, this coin is among the finest survivors for its date. It shows just a whisper of even wear, preserving sharp details across Liberty’s profile and the eagle’s wings. The quality and eye appeal place this example firmly in the top percentile for this issue. Due to its limited availability and condition rarity, the 1856-O $10 Liberty is highly sought after by collectors of pre-Civil War coinage, New Orleans Mint issues, and the broader Liberty Head series. Few opportunities arise to own an example this attractive and high-end—making this a strong addition for any serious numismatic portfolio.Coin SeriesPre-33 GoldPurity.900Face Value$10Mint Or RefineryU.S. Mint - New OrleansMetal TypeGoldMordern Or HistoricalPre-33GradeAU58Grade ServicePCGSYear1856Metal Weight0.4838 troy ozProduct BrandU.S. Mint - New OrleansCertifiedInvestment Grade
