1894-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.

A lovely piece with a choice original skin of slightly reflective luster and pleasing yellow-gold color. Lightly abraded but overall quite handsome and certainly high quality for the assigned grade. In attractive and solidly graded Mint State, this is also a conditionally rare coin that is worthy of serious bidder consideration. The 1894-O (just 16,600 pieces produced) is the penultimate New Orleans Mint half eagle and the last of the Liberty Head design type. The issue is much rarer in Mint State than is generally recognized in numismatic circles, the vast majority of the 400-600+ survivors that Doug Winter (2018) accounts for being at one of the About Uncirculated grades.

PCGS# 8388. NGC ID: 25YF.

Estimate: $2’000.00
