Lot Description

1855-O Liberty Head Eagle. VF-30 (PCGS). CAC. This originally preserved and aesthetically pleasing mid grade example comes down to us from a limited mintage of 18,000 pieces. Warmly and evenly patinated in honey-gold, both sides retain bold detail to all major design elements. The obverse appears quite a few points sharper than VF-30, in fact, and the overall quality is suggestive of a premium bid. One of the scarcer No Motto Liberty Head eagles from the New Orleans Mint, the 1855-O represents a significant find in attractively original preservation, irrespective of numeric grade. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8617. NGC ID: 263M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
