Lot Description

1843-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. A richly original example with glints of reddish-russet peripheral color to otherwise dominant khaki-gold patina. Despite its status as the second most common New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1840s, the 1843-O is considerably scarcer than the 1847-O in an absolute sense. Few survivors are as blatantly and attractively original as the coin offered here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8589. NGC ID: 262R. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
