- 1840-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Narrow Mill. AU-55 (NGC). Warm olive-gold patina blankets both sides and lightens to more of a medium gold shade as the coin dips into a light. Sharply defined over most design elements, this satiny piece is smooth in hand with an uncommonly pleasing appearance for a lightly circulated, early date New Orleans Mint gold coin. From a mintage of 40,120 pieces, most examples of which (35,500 pieces) were struck with a smaller diameter collar, as here. As an issue, the 1840-O is one of the more frequently encountered pre-Civil War era New Orleans Mint fives, the present example finer than most and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced Southern gold cabinet. PCGS# 8200. NGC ID: 25SK. Click here for certification details from NGC.
