Description du lot

1854-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. A beautiful olive-honey example with smartly impressed design elements and nearly full, satiny mint luster. From a mintage of 46,000 pieces, survivors of which likely number no more than 300 coins at all levels of preservation. Even so, this figure is sufficient to rank the 1854-O among the more readily obtainable pre-Civil War era New Orleans Mint half eagles. With the premium quality, extraordinary eye appeal and CAC approval offered here, however, examples are rare. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 22; 12 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 9; 0. PCGS# 8259. NGC ID: 25UM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
