- Seldom Encountered Mint State 1845-O Eagle
Registry Set Candidate
1845-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Repunched Date. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
This handsome golden-olive eagle offers a sharp, virtually full strike for an early New Orleans Mint gold coin. It is very nicely preserved with a soft satin texture on both sides. The 1845-O was produced to the extent of 47,500 pieces and is scarce in an absolute sense. A number of circulated examples have entered the numismatic market since the early 1990s, providing a decent selection of VF and EF coins for today's collectors. In AU the 1845-O remains elusive, while in Mint State the issue is a significant condition rarity with only a handful of such pieces known. This is one of our finest offerings for the date, a coin that comes highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced Southern gold cabinet.
There are several Repunched Date varieties of the 1845-O eagle, Winter-1 sharing its obverse with Winter-2. The present example is a rare early die state with bold repunching on all four digits. The reverse die of this variety has the O mintmark placed over the letter N in TEN and a clear break at the top of the first line of stripe 2 in the shield.
Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Heritage, December 1995; via Stack's.
PCGS Population: 3; 3 finer (MS-64 finest).
