Description

1855-O Five Dollar, AU55
Low-Mintage New Orleans Issue

1855-O $5 AU55 PCGS. A difficult New Orleans No Motto issue, as only 11,100 pieces were struck and none were set aside by collectors until decades later. The present straw-gold half eagle is devoid of mentionable marks and has a good strike, though the eagle's neck and fletchings lack absolute detail. Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (1/12).(Registry values: P7)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
