Description du lot

1846-O Liberty Head Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. An olive-khaki example with some softness of strike in the centers, yet appreciably bolder detail elsewhere. Lustrous for the assigned grade, this is an attractively original and technically sound EF from a mintage of 81,780 pieces. The 1846-O ranks among the 10 rarest New Orleans Mint eagles of the 1841 to 1860 era (per Doug Winter, 2006) and, as with most ten-dollar gold issues from the 1840s, survivors are particularly elusive in originally preserved EF and higher grades, as here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8595. NGC ID: 262X. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
