Description

1846-O Half Eagle, Impressive AU55
Overlooked Branch Mint Issue

1846-O $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 3. Ex: The Fairmont Collection. Only a few dozen examples of this undervalued New Orleans date exist at this Choice About Uncirculated grade, and some of those lack natural surfaces and color. This is a splendid orange-gold example, with semireflective fields and a sharper strike than often seen. The 1846-O mintage (58,000 pieces) circulated extensively and few examples survive any finer than this softly lustrous, well-preserved coin. CAC endorsement recognizes the original surfaces and high quality for the grade. Population: 13 in 55, 22 finer. CAC: 5 in 55, 5 finer (8/23).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25TK, PCGS# 8230, Greysheet# 8983)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
