1847-O Liberty Five, XF45
Rarest O-Mint Half Eagle

1847-O $5 XF45 ANACS. Variety 1. The 1847-O is the rarest Liberty half eagle from the New Orleans Mint, with a minuscule mintage of just 12,000 pieces. Probably no more than 40-50 coins survive today in all grades. This Choice XF example shows light wear on the high points of the design elements and the greenish-gold surfaces retain much original mint luster. The surfaces show a few minor abrasions, the worst being a pair of nicks in the left obverse field, near the chin.(Registry values: P8)
