Description

1842-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. EF-45 (PCGS).

Light, even honey-gold color is seen on this boldly defined example. Ample frosty luster remains, the surfaces attractively original for a lightly circulated Southern gold coin. A scarce issue with a mintage of 27,400 pieces, Douglas Winter (Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint: 1839-1909, 2020) ranks the 1842-O as tied for 12th rarest among the 21 early date New Orleans Mint eagles. This is one of the nicest examples for the grade that we can ever recall handling, and it is worthy of the strongest bids.

PCGS# 8587. NGC ID: 262N.

From the Fairmont Collection - Kronen Set.
