Branch Mint Proofs have long been something even the most well-resourced collectors could only dream about. While you’re more likely to see a Branch Mint Proof in Silver, they are in a league of their own when found in gold. In fact, of all U.S. gold coins ever produced we can only think of three coins to be classified as full Proofs by PCGS or NGC. Those include the 1844-O $10 Branch Mint Proof which last sold more than a decade ago for a figure purported to be north of $2,000,000 and an 1844-O Half Eagle that is out there somewhere that would likely bring a similar number, if not more in today’s market for such items. In fact, at the time of the private sale for the 1844-O Eagle very few coins had yet eclipsed seven-figure territory.
Today a greater number of coins have sold for 7 figures than ever before, and many of them aren’t unique.
The 1894-O is a landmark discovery coin and only the 2nd Branch Mint Proof $10 known at all. With the 1844-O listed in the Top 100 U.S. Coins we think the 1894-O is a remarkable achievement for any collector with the desire to own what no one else can. The 1844-O is easily the most valuable coin ever struck at the New Orleans Mint.
Such a coin is not limited just by the money required to obtain it, but by being in the right place and at the right time to even be offered it. We are honored to have that privilege to now offer you one of the greatest discoveries in decades.
