Description

1855-O Half Eagle, AU50
Scarce, Low-Mintage Issue

1855-O $5 AU50 NGC. Variety 1. This low-mintage New Orleans issue is scarce at any level of preservation, and high-grade coins are rare. This example is boldly detailed overall, but the arrowheads, talons, and fletchings are softly struck. Peach accents on the high points complement the pleasing lime-green coloration across both sides. Free of singular distractions, with excellent eye appeal for the grade and type. Census: 6 in 50, 30 finer (3/14).(Registry values: P7)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UT, PCGS# 8264, Greysheet# 9016)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
