1851-O $5 MS (PCGS#8249)

The Summer 2022 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1851-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Lovely honey-orange surfaces are richly original and retain plenty of soft, frosty mint luster. Well struck by 1850s New Orleans Mint standards with an exceptionally smooth appearance for having seen light commercial use. The 1851-O has a mintage identical to the 1845-O (41,000 pieces), and both are of equal scarcity in today's market. As with most New Orleans Mint half eagles from the 1840s and 1850s, grades of VF and EF are typical. The present example, rare at the near-Mint level, is even more desirable due to coveted CAC approval. It is a highly desirable alternative for the advanced collector who is unable to procure one of the few Mint State survivors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 10; 8 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 2; 3. PCGS# 8249. NGC ID: 25U9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
