Among the Finest Seen by CAC
1850-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
With wonderfully original surfaces that are just a whisper away from Mint State, it is little wonder that this premium quality Choice AU secured CAC approval. Displaying pretty honey-olive color with subtle pink highlights, there is plenty of satin luster remaining to appeal to bidders. This is a poorly struck issue, and the present example is noticeably soft on the obverse, although the reverse is appreciably bolder. Well preserved for the grade with no singularly mentionable marks.
One of the scarcer pre-Civil War era New Orleans Mint eagles, the 1850-O has a mintage of 57,500 pieces. Commercial use and eventual melting claimed the vast majority of coins, and among survivors grades of VF and EF are typical. Given the extreme rarity of Mint State pieces, upper end About Uncirculated examples such as this are in high demand among serious Liberty Head eagle and New Orleans Mint enthusiasts.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.
PCGS Population: 8; 4 finer, three of which are Mint State (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 6; 0.
PCGS# 8605. NGC ID: 2639.
