1843-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.Lovely honey-rose patina flows over lustrous AU surfaces that are uncommonly smooth for a lightly circulated New Orleans Mint ten. Well defined from a sharply executed strike, and sure to please both Liberty Head eagle and Southern gold enthusiasts. Despite its status as the second most common New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1840s, the 1843-O is considerably scarcer than the 1847-O in an absolute sense, especially in grades above EF, as here.From the Fairmont Collection.
