Lot Description

1845-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Repunched Date. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. This handsome piece is toned in a blend of khaki-gold and flint gray patina. Both sides are boldly defined overall with appreciable luster remaining. A median rarity among early (read: pre-Civil War) New Orleans Mint eagles, the 1845-O is fairly easy to obtain in the various VF grades, but becomes elusive any finer. Winter-1 is one of the more frequently encountered die pairings of the issue, identifiable by repunching to the digits 84 in the date and a break at the top of the first line in the second vertical stripe in the reverse shield. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 88593. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
