1844-O $10 Liberty Head Gold Coin

While we know that this New Orleans piece technically isn't early gold, it is still quite old by branch mint standards. It is hard to believe that a coin this pretty and historic can be bought at such a seemingly reasonable price. (From Max Mehl customer buying in the 1950s)
