1854-O Half Eagle, AU58
Partially Lustrous Fields

1854-O $5 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. This New Orleans half eagle issue circulated heavily in the South prior to the secession of the states and the outbreak of the Civil War. Survivors from the 46,000-coin mintage are scarce and mostly dispersed throughout the XF and AU grades, becoming particularly elusive at the near-Mint level; Uncirculated pieces are genuine rarities. This representative displays original, frosty surfaces with hints of luster throughout the green-gold patina. Minor striking softness occurs on the reverse shield and fletchings, but actual wear is trivial at best. Population: 11 in 58, 11 finer (9/15).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UM, PCGS# 8259, Greysheet# 9011)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
