Description
1851-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS).
Pleasing honey-orange surfaces retain plenty of soft, satiny mint luster. Well struck by 1850s New Orleans Mint standards with an exceptionally smooth appearance in the absence of sizeable or otherwise individually distracting marks. The 1851-O has a mintage identical to the 1845-O (41,000 pieces), and both are of equal scarcity in today's market. As with most New Orleans Mint half eagles from the 1840s and 1850s, grades of VF and EF are typical. The present example is rare at the near-Mint level. It is a highly desirable alternative for the advanced collector who is unable to procure one of the few Mint State survivors.
PCGS# 8249. NGC ID: 25U9.
PCGS Population: 10; 8 finer (MS-64 finest).
From the Srotag Collection.
