The 1895-O ranks as the 10^th rarest “with motto” Eagle out of the 16 issues, which sounds very ordinary-until you take a closer look. This date, when available is normally seen in AU grades. It is also almost impossible to find a piece without a liberal amount of abrasion. ARC Gold Austrian Philharmonic 1oz BU

The 95-O is never seen in grades higher than MS63, with a lone NGC MS64 somewhere tucked away, that the numismatic community will probably never see as there is NO public record of it trading hands as far back as we can research. A high record of over $9000 was recorded in February 2013 for a MS63 graded coin of this date. These facts make our coin, which is one of only 10 coins to be CAC approved a true value. 1900 Double Liberty Gold NGC MS64
