Lot Description

1852-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). A bright golden-honey example with plenty of satiny mint luster shining forth as the surfaces rotate under a light. Striking quality is typical for an O-mint ten from the 1850s, isolated features soft to blunt but the overall detail suitably bold. One of the more elusive New Orleans Mint eagles of the No Motto design type, the 1852-O (just 18,000 pieces produced) compares favorably in this regard to the 1855-O, 1856-O and 1857-O. Provenance: From the Paisley Acres Collection. PCGS# 8609. NGC ID: 263D. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
