Lot Description

This lovely eagle is drenched in warm honey-orange color with subtle pinkish-rose highlights. Boldly struck in most areas 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, which confirms that attractive AU-53s such as this are eagerly sought by astute collectors. This issue is also popular with specialists due to the existence of several Repunched and Misplaced Date varieties, as here.
