Historic Key Date 1841-O Eagle Unknown in Mint State 1841-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF-45 (PCGS). Offered is a superior example of an extremely challenging New Orleans Mint gold issue. Well struck for an 1841-O eagle, both sides offer generally bold definition that comes up short in only a few isolated areas. The surfaces are soft and satiny, revealing glints of original luster. Richly original honey-olive color adorns both sides and delivers outstanding eye appeal. With only 2,500 pieces produced, the 1841-O has the lowest mintage of any Liberty Head eagle dated 1838 to 1858. Fewer than 100 survivors are accounted for, making this the second rarest No Motto eagle from the New Orleans Mint after the 1859-O, and the third rarest when we include Motto issues (which brings the 1883-O into play). No Mint State coins have been graded by the major certification services. With AU examples highly elusive, the 1841-O trades places with the 1859-O to become the prime condition rarity among New Orleans Mint tens of the No Motto type. The Fairmont pedigree adds further appeal. This exciting Choice EF example will surely attract advanced gold specialists. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 14; 18 finer (AU-58 finest). There are also no Mint State examples listed at NGC. PCGS# 8583. NGC ID: 262J. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
