Lot Description

1847-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. Repunched Date. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. A lovely example that combines originality and condition rarity in an early date New Orleans Mint ten. Handsome honey-gold color blankets both sides, the central reverse further enhanced by a blush of vivid pinkish-rose iridescence. Luster is nearly full in a satiny texture, and the strike is sharp apart from a touch of softness to the central high points. Produced to the extent of 571,500 pieces, the 1847-O is by far the highest mintage eagle from the New Orleans Mint. It is the most common No Motto Liberty Head ten from this coinage facility with survivors available in circulated grades through the lower reaches of AU. At the Mint State threshold, however, this issue develops into a significant condition rarity, as do most early eagles of this design type. With fewer than 20 Uncirculated coins believed extant, this premium quality CAC-approved AU-58 represents the finest realistically obtainable by most of today's discerning collectors. The Winter-2 attribution adds further desirability. The first two digits in the date reveal bold repunching at their bases when observed with the aid of a loupe. PCGS Population: 15; 21 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 9; 5. PCGS# 8598. NGC ID: 2632. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
