Lot Description

1882-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). Blended warm orange highlights enliven otherwise honey-gold color on this wonderfully original example. Sharply to fully defined in virtually all areas, ample luster remains confirming the premium Choice AU rating from PCGS. The 1882-O is the most frequently encountered New Orleans Mint eagle of the 1880 to 1882 era, although we stress that all three of these issues are low mintage rarities. The present example is an above average survivor from a 10,820-piece delivery, most of which grade no finer than EF. An attractive coin that would make an impressive addition to an advanced collection of Liberty Head eagles or New Orleans Mint coinage. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8697. NGC ID: 2664. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
