1844-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).,Sharply defined in a lightly circulated survivor from this Southern coinage facility, this handsome example also sports ample satin luster and pale khaki-gold patina. At 364,600 coins struck the 1844-O has the highest mintage among Liberty Head half eagles from the New Orleans Mint, including both No Motto and Motto issues. It is the most available issue in this mintmarked series in terms of total number of coins known, although it is rarer than the 1893-O and 1894-O in high grades. This original and attractive AU would do nicely in either a mintmarked gold type set or specialized collection.,PCGS# 8222. NGC ID: 25TA.,,
