Lot Description

Richly original color in deep honey-olive is seen on both sides of this premium example. Crisply impressed with razor sharp striking detail throughout, and displaying a moderate amount of frosty luster. Quite well preserved with abundant eye appeal, even the most discerning Southern gold enthusiast will be impressed by this noteworthy AU coin. 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. This PCGS AU-50 marks a significant offering for advanced collectors specializing in New Orleans Mint coinage or Liberty Head eagles.
