Liberty Head Eagle

1845-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (NGC).

Plenty of satin luster remains in the protected areas to tempt the advanced collector of Liberty Head or New Orleans Mint gold coinage. Vivid yellow-gold coloration with hints of deeper color near the border. The 1845-O is one of the scarcer New Orleans Mint eagles from the 1840s, although a small hoard that surfaced during the early 1990s has made the issue somewhat available in the EF-40 to EF-45 grade range. Any finer and the 1845-O remains rare.

PCGS# 8593. NGC ID: 262V.

Estimate: 2200
