Lot Description

1846-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (NGC). A boldly toned khaki-gold example with plenty of sharp striking detail remaining on both sides. Although not recognized as such in wider numismatic circles, Southern gold experts have long known that the 1846-O is one of the rarest and most underrated New Orleans Mint half eagles. Survivors from a limited mintage of 58,000 pieces are elusive in all grades, and with so few extant in AU and Mint State this pleasing Choice EF represents a particularly significant find for the astute bidder. PCGS# 8230. NGC ID: 25TK. Click here for certification details from NGC.
