 1857'O' Choice About Uncirculated. A bold strike with a reverse that is somewhat reflective and lustrous defines this coin. The obverse is a bit subdued and exhibits a few scattered marks. A very rare date with only 30,000 coins struck few of which survive in as nice a condition as the present example. Recent finds of quantities of high quality Double Eagles from various shipwrecks have increased the supply of various 'S' mint issues, but no appreciable supply of scarce New Orleans issues like the 1857'O' have been found, confirming the desirability of high grade specimens like the current coin.
