In his book Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, author and noted specialist Doug Winter estimates that of the total mintage of 14,500 pieces, just 80 – 90 of this issue survive today in all grades combined. 

Of these, Winter notes that only about a dozen (that’s 12.  TWELVE.  T-W-E-L-V-E) retain their original skin.

And this is one of those lucky few – a crusty, golden orange example with a beautiful, original patina.

In all, a very rare piece, and in our view an excellent value in today’s numismatic marketplace.
