Lot 1000
1879-O. PCGS graded MS-65. A nice white coin. A glistening beauty and a gem by any standard. An engaging display of lively silvery iridescence leaps across, around and through the highly lustrous surfaces of this scarce New Orleans branch mint gem. The strike is strong for the date, with not even a hint of weakness in the centers; the central design is boldly defined. Nowadays collectors would never dream of thinking the 1879-O is a common date, but they once did. Until census figures started being compiled. Pop 329; 30 finer, 14 in 65+, 15 in 66, 1 in 66+. (PCGS # 7090) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.
