1844-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.An attractive medium gold example with sharp striking detail and plenty of original satin luster. The 1844-O trails only the 1847-O and 1843-O as the third most plentiful New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1840s. Even so, survivors from a mintage of 118,700 pieces are scarce in an absolute sense, and they are seldom offered at or above the present grade level. A strong candidate for inclusion in an advanced gold cabinet or mintmarked type set.From the Fairmont Collection.
