New Orleans struck 21,335 eagles in 1888. The New Orleans mintmark identifies the coin's southern origin. PCGS estimates roughly 125 to 250 survive across all grades. Most grade between Fine and EF. Uncirculated examples are uncommon and can be found with patient searching at major auctions. The coin's scarcity is well documented in numismatic references. Problem-free examples with honest wear and no damage carry premiums reflecting the limited supply available to collectors. Authentication and certification by PCGS or NGC are recommended for any example offered at a significant premium.
