Description

1897-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
Golden-apricot color blends with frosty mint luster on both sides of this smartly impressed, visually appealing example. The 1897-O is the scarcest New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1890s after only the 1899-O. A few groups of coins located in foreign bank hoards account for most of the Mint State population, the typical example of which grades MS-61 or MS-62, as here. With so few examples graded finer, this fully original and aesthetically pleasing coin will appeal to advanced Liberty Head eagle collectors as well as New Orleans Mint enthusiasts.
PCGS# 8738. NGC ID: 267E.
From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.

Estimate: $1850
