1853-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. AU-55+ (PCGS). CAC.
Vivid honey-orange surfaces are considerably lustrous with a uniform frosty texture. Both sides are boldly to sharply struck throughout with an impressively smooth appearance for the issue and the grade. With a mintage of 51,000 coins, the 1853-O is the third most plentiful New Orleans Mint eagle behind the 1847-O and 1851-O. However, the vast majority of survivors are concentrated at the VF and EF grade levels, often with surface problems. This issue is a major rarity in Mint State, and even Choice AU survivors are very scarce and seldom encountered. With undeniable originality and superior eye appeal, this PCGS AU-55+ from the Fairmont Collection is among the finest 1853-O eagles that we have handled in recent memory and is sure to appeal to advanced Southern gold collectors.
