详细说明

1851-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (NGC). Blended rose and orange-gold patina to both sides, the surfaces also revealing appreciable satin luster that is boldest around the peripheries. Softly struck overall, typical of the issue, yet with some sharper detail to the eagle's plumage. The 1851-O has an identical mintage of the 1845-O (41,000 pieces), and both issues are of equal scarcity in today's market. As with most Southern gold issues from the pre-Civil War era, grades or VF and EF are typical, the present example a desirable alternative for the collector who is unable to procure one of the relatively few AU survivors. PCGS# 8249. NGC ID: 25U9. Click here for certification details from NGC.
