Choice AU 1854-O Half Eagle

1854-O $5 AU58 NGC. From 1854 through 1858, every operating mint at the time produced half eagles, although the San Francisco Mint example of 1854 is an extreme rarity, from a mintage of just 268 coins. In New Orleans the mintage in 1854 was 46,000, a significant total for half eagles during this time period. This example has lovely greenish gold color with reflective, nearly prooflike surfaces. PCGS and NGC have certified just 17 examples of this issue in higher grades. Population: 29 in 58, 10 finer (10/05).
