Lot Description

1844-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-3. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Pleasing honey-gold surfaces are highly lustrous for the grade with most design elements sharply to fully defined. Glints of pale olive are evident, further evidence of this coin's originality. The 1844-O is one of the more plentiful half eagles from the still early days at the New Orleans Mint, but premium Choice AU pieces like this are scarce relative to demand from Southern gold collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 8222. NGC ID: 25TA. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
