Lot Description

Richly original color in warm honey-olive is seen on both sides of this piece. It is crisply impressed with bold to sharp striking detail throughout. While moderately abraded from commercial use, the surfaces display no sizeable or otherwise singularly mentionable marks. Despite its status as one of the more readily obtainable New Orleans Mint issues from the early Liberty Head eagle series, the 1844-O is scarce in AU and very rare in Mint State. Uncirculated survivors can be counted on two to three hands, confirming the significance of this PCGS AU-53 for advanced collectors specializing in New Orleans Mint coinage or Liberty Head eagles.
