Description

Bright and Attractive
1854-O $5 AU55 NGC. Winter-1. The New Orleans Mint struck
46,000 half eagles in 1854. The date is collectible, but
challenging in high grade. Most pieces seen at auction are in one
of the AU grades, though many are impaired. This Choice AU coin
displays bright yellow-gold patina with satiny luster in the fields
and little wear over the well-struck devices. Only the fletchings
on the reverse show minor softness. Scattered abrasions are as
usual for the grade and issue. NGC Census: 45 in 55, 55 finer
(10/25).(Registry values: P6)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UM, PCGS# 8259, Greysheet# 9011)
