- Condition Rarity 1847-O Eagle
1847-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. Repunched Date. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
A lovely example that combines originality and condition rarity in an early date New Orleans Mint ten. Handsome honey-gold patina blankets both sides and mingles with full satin to softly frosted luster. Well struck by the standards of the issuing mint, the central high points are a bit soft, but all other features are sharp. A trace of light residue at the base of Liberty's portrait is noted for accuracy, although there are few sizeable abrasions, significantly so for the assigned grade. 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 Mint State, however, this issue develops into a significant condition rarity, as do most early eagles of this design type. Fewer than 20 Uncirculated coins are believed extant, perhaps no more than 12 to 15. The present example is of further desirability due to the Repunched Date attribution. The first two digits in the date reveal bold repunching at their bases when observed with the aid of a loupe.
