- 1846-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-3. EF-45 (PCGS). OGH. Vivid olive-orange patina is seen on both sides of this sharply defined and very lustrous Choice EF example. Wispy hairlines are noted for accuracy, but there are few sizable marks. Although 58,000 half eagles of this date and mintmark were struck, much of the mintage was put to use in commerce. The majority of survivors appear in the VF to EF range; the present coin, with superior quality and eye appeal, is at the upper end of that range. Writing in the 2020 edition of the reference Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint: 1839-1909, Douglas A. Winter describes this particular die marriage of the issue as "rare." Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. PCGS# 8230. NGC ID: 25TK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
