Description
1844-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-5. AU-53 (PCGS).
Richly original color in warm honey-olive is seen on both sides of this premium example. Crisply impressed with razor sharp striking detail throughout, and displaying pleasingly smooth surfaces for the assigned grade. Quite well preserved with abundant eye appeal, even the most discerning Southern gold enthusiast will be impressed by this noteworthy AU coin. Despite its status as one of the more readily obtainable New Orleans Mint issues from the early Liberty Head eagle series, the 1844-O is scarce in AU and very rare in Mint State. Uncirculated survivors can be counted on two to three hands, confirming the significance of this PCGS AU-53 for advanced collectors specializing in New Orleans Mint coinage or Liberty Head eagles.
PCGS# 8591. NGC ID: 262T.
From the Fairmont Collection - Sussex Set.
