1845-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Repunched Date. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC.Attractive honey-gold surfaces are warmly and evenly patinated over a well executed strike. Lustrous for the grade with an uncommonly smooth appearance in a lightly circulated gold coin from the 1840s. A median rarity among early (read: pre-Civil War) New Orleans Mint eagles, the 1845-O is fairly easy to obtain in the various VF grades, but becomes elusive any finer. Winter-1 is one of the more frequently encountered die pairings of the issue, identifiable by repunching to the digits 84 in the date and a break at the top of the first line in the second vertical stripe in the reverse shield.From the Fairmont Collection.
