Lot Description

1845-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Repunched Date. AU-53 (PCGS). This lovely eagle is drenched in bold honey-gold color. Boldly to sharply struck with ample luster in a softly frosted texture. The 1845-O is one of the scarcer New Orleans Mint eagles from the 1840s, although a small hoard that surfaced during the early 1990s has made the issue somewhat available in the EF-45 to AU-53 grade range. Any finer and the 1845-O is rare, and even premium AU-53s such as the present Fairmont Collection specimen are very scarce. This issue is also popular with specialists due to the existence of several Repunched and Misplaced Date varieties, as here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 88593.
