1897-O Liberty Head Eagle. Unc Details--Cleaned (PCGS).，A full strike and ample satin luster enhance the vivid medium gold surfaces. Due to a mintage of just 42,500 pieces, the 1897-O is a median rarity among Motto Liberty Head eagles from the New Orleans Mint. Many of the Mint State coins in todays market have returned from overseas since the mid 1990s, although the present example obviously entered the numismatic market before that time.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of the George F. Scanlon Collection, October 1973, lot 2558. Lot tag included.，
