Seldom-Seen MS62 1845-O Half Eagle
Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr.

1845-O $5 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Breen-6560. With repunching on the 18 in the date. Ex: HW Bass Jr. Collection. While the 1845-O is one of the best produced half eagles to emerge from the New Orleans Mint, it is also among the rarest in high grades. This die marriage is the scarcer of the two known varieties of the 1845-O half eagle. Both sides are minimally marked for the grade, and the luminous apricot surfaces have a minutely matte appearance. The strike is typically sharp for the issue, with incompleteness limited to a tiny portion of the shield. A fleeting opportunity for the O-mint gold specialist.
