Sincona sale 87, lot 3301

This specimen was lot 3301 in Sincona sale 87 (Zurich, October 2023), where it sold for 2,100 CHF (about US$2,828 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"USA, 10 Dollars 1901 O, New Orleans. Liberty head type. Very rare in this condition. PCGS MS63."

This specimen is one of a type struck at the New Orleans mint 1841-60, 1879-1906. Issues are also recorded from San Francisco (1854-89, 1892-1907), Philadelphia (1839-1907), Carson City (1870-84, 1890-93) and Denver (1906-07). In 1866, the motto "In God We Trust" was added to the reverse. The 1901-O is common, despite the low mintage, because of the discovery and import of several hoards from Europe.

Recorded mintage: 72,041.

Specification: 16.71 g, 0.900 fine gold, .483 troy oz AGW, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 102, Fr-159.
