- 1850-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. With wonderfully original surfaces and strong eye appeal, it is little wonder that this premium quality Choice EF secured CAC approval. Displaying pretty honey-olive color, there is plenty of frosty 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, often with problems, and seldom choice. Given the scarcity of AU examples and the extreme rarity of Mint State pieces, premium EF-45s such as this are in high demand among astute Liberty Head eagle and New Orleans Mint enthusiasts.
