1853-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).Handsome medium gold patina greets the viewer from both sides, the surfaces revealing ample evidence of a satin to modestly semi-prooflike finish as the coin rotates under a light. The central design elements are sharply to fully defined, and the overall appearance is suggestive of a Choice AU rating. The 1853-O, scarce to rare in grades above Choice EF, is a popular mintmarked gold type candidate for collectors seeking to avoid the more common 1847-O and 1851-O eagles.From the Fairmont Collection.
