Description

1855-O Half Eagle, AU53
Scarce in AU Grades

1855-O $5 AU53 NGC. Variety 1. Bright yellow surfaces show captivating semiprooflike reflectivity. Numerous abrasions cover each side, but all are inconsequential save for a shallow scratch at the bottom of the bust. This piece exhibits impressive sharpness, with the hair just a trifle soft. A mere 11,100 coins were struck, and most were heavily circulated. The 1855-O ranks among the scarcest New Orleans half eagles and is especially challenging in high grades. Census: 10 in 53, 21 finer (7/19).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2008), lot 3696.
