Lot Description

1845-O Liberty Half Eagle. AU-55 (NGC). Bright and lustrous yellow gold with olive highlights and some prooflike reflectivity in the fields. Nicely struck and not overly marked despite its modest stay in circulation. Typically found at VF and EF, with pleasing AU specimens such as this somewhat scarce. Repunching noted at the 1 and 8 in the date.
