Lot Description

1849-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (NGC). Boldly defined for a minimally circulated early date New Orleans Mint eagle, this pleasing AU also exhibits warm and even deep orange patina. From a modest mintage of only 23,900 pieces, and as with virtually every other issue of gold coin struck in New Orleans, wear and tear in commerce was the norm and not the exception. A significant condition rarity in AU and finer grades, any high quality 1849-O eagle such as this deserves serious bidder consideration. Provenance: From the Paisley Acres Collection. PCGS# 8602. NGC ID: 2636. Click here for certification details from NGC.
