Significant 1845-O Half Eagle in PCGS MS-62 Underrated Rarity in Mint State 1845-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. This is an exceptionally well produced and preserved 1845-O, an overlooked issue among early Southern half eagles. Both sides are remarkably well defined by New Orleans Mint standards with sharp to full detail over virtually all design features. Soft frosty luster blends with rich honey-orange color to provide strong visual appeal. Solidly in the Mint State category, and rare as such, this coin is sure to delight astute bidders. The 1845-O is underrated, especially when compared to many of the more highly regarded Charlotte and Dahlonega mint issues of its era. Survivors from a mintage of 41,000 pieces are elusive in all grades and likely number no more than 200 coins. Most are circulated to one degree or another, and the typical market appearance is for a VF or EF example. Only a small number of Mint State coins are known and, not surprisingly, market appearances for these are few and far between. This premium MS-62 easily qualifies as Condition Census based on the listing in the 2020 edition of Doug Winter's reference on New Orleans Mint gold coinage. It is a highlight of the Fairmont Collection's Hendricks Set and will be just right for another significant numismatic cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.
