1847-O Five Dollar, AU53
Low-Mintage Rarity

1847-O $5 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1. The New Orleans Mint struck 571,500 ten dollar pieces in 1847, a mintage much greater than the combined prior production of the denomination at that facility. New Orleans must have been so busy coining eagles that half eagles were comparatively neglected. A scant 12,000 five dollar pieces were struck, and survivors are rare in all grades. The present example displays deep orange-red fields and steel-blue high points. No marks are of singular consequence, and the strike is good for the facility despite some blending on Liberty's hair. Population: 8 in 53, 4 finer (11/14).(Registry values: P8)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25TR, PCGS# 8235, Greysheet# 8987)
