Description

1894-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
Otherwise frosty surfaces reveal delightful semi-reflectivity in the fields. Sharply struck in most areas with fully original color in warm orange-apricot. 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 generally recognized; the vast majority of the 400-600+ survivors that Doug Winter (2020) accounts for are in About Uncirculated grades. Among certified coins few Mint State pieces are as attractive as this example.
PCGS# 8388. NGC ID: 25YF.
CAC Population: 9; 7.
From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.

Estimate: $2000
