Description

1845-O Half Eagle, MS61
Sharp S.S. New York Coin

1845-O $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. Ex: S.S. New York. A rare Mint State example of this early New Orleans half eagle, showing smooth yellow-gold surfaces and a remarkably sharp strike. No significant abrasions are present. Only 41,000 half eagles were struck in 1845 at the New Orleans Mint, and most were lost to attrition. This is a conditionally rare issue in Uncirculated grades. In Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, third edition, Doug Winter writes of the 1845-O: "In fact, it is much scarcer than many of the better-known Charlotte and Dahlonega half eagles struck during this era." Census: 8 in 61, 6 finer (11/18).
