- 1851-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Lovely orange-olive surfaces are richly original and retain plenty of soft, frosty mint luster. Well struck by 1850s New Orleans Mint standards with an exceptionally smooth appearance for having seen light commercial use. The 1851-O has a mintage identical to the 1845-O (41,000 pieces), and both are of equal scarcity in today's market. As with most New Orleans Mint half eagles from the 1840s and 1850s, grades of VF and EF are typical. The present example, rare at the About Uncirculated level, is a desirable alternative for the collector who is unable to procure one of the few Mint State survivors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 9; 27 finer, eight of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 13 in all AU grades. PCGS# 8249. NGC ID: 25U9.
