    Description

    1880-O Liberty Head Gold Eagle
    PCGS graded XF45
    Low mintage of 9,200
    PCGS/NGC graded population 390
    Variety 1 (1-A) - Obverse - Date slightly closer to bust than dentils and just left of center. Stars on left show minor doubling.
    Reverse - Mintmark is high and equidistant between arrow feather and talon. Die lines are evident at dentils at CA.
    Rarity 3rd of 16 per Douglas Winter's "Gold Coins Of The New Orleans Mint"
    I grade this coin as a low XF45. Weak detail, heavy contact mark on reverse at top arrow shaft and talon. Given the typical strong strike for this issue, this is not a full XF45 coin in my opinion.
