Description

1847-O Half Eagle, AU50
Rare in All Grades

1847-O $5 AU50 NGC. Variety 1. The only known variety. The 1847-O half eagle, from a mintage of 12,000 pieces, is rare in all grades. The PCGS website indicates that 50 to 60 pieces are known, and NGC and PCGS have graded fewer than 90 coins in all levels of preservation, a number of which are likely resubmissions. This AU offering displays sharply struck design elements, including Liberty's hair, which is usually found weak, and neither side reveals the heavy abrasions that are typically seen on this date. Nice overall eye appeal. Census: 5 in 50, 19 finer (2/14).
