Losbeschreibung

The 1844-O is one of the more plentiful half eagles from the still early days at the New Orleans Mint, but premium Choice AU pieces like this are scarce relative to demand from Southern gold collectors. Sharply defined at the focal features, the present example exhibits bright olive-gold color on frosty to modestly semi-reflective surfaces. An interesting reverse die crack is evident from the eagle's right wing, through three of the olive leaves, to the rim outside the letter U in UNITED.
