- 1847-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. Repunched Date. AU-55 (PCGS).
A lovely early O-Mint eagle that combines originality and condition rarity. Handsome golden-olive color blankets both sides and mingles with full satin to softly frosted luster. Well struck by the standards of the New Orleans Mint, the central high points are soft, but all other features are sharp. Modest semi-reflectivity in the fields enhances already strong eye appeal. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise from normal coin alignment. Produced to the extent of 571,500 pieces, the 1847-O is by far the highest mintage eagle from the New Orleans Mint. It is the most common No Motto Liberty Head ten from this coinage facility with survivors available in circulated grades through the lower reaches of AU. In Choice AU and Mint State, however, this issue develops into a significant condition rarity, as do most early eagles of this design type. Not many more than 20 Uncirculated coins are believed extant. The Fairmont Collection pedigree adds appeal for this minimally circulated survivor, as does repunching to the base of the digit 1 in the date. This coin is sure to find its way into an advanced gold cabinet.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
PCGS# 8598. NGC ID: 2632.
