Lot Description

1855-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Warm yellow gold with honey-rose highlights in the fields. Nicely struck for the date with just a few light circulation marks. From a mintage for the date of 11,100 pieces, with the typical survivor from that mintage just Fine to VF, with an occasional EF making its presence known. At AU, the date becomes a rarity of some stature. An aesthetically beautiful coin, the present coin should see spirited bidding activity and will be a welcome addition in a collection of New Orleans gold. PCGS# 8264. NGC ID: 25UT.
