1858-O Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).Vivid bright gold surfaces with ample evidence of a semi-prooflike finish to both sides. Well struck for a New Orleans Mint gold coin from the 1850s, the central devices are particularly sharp. Despite its status as one of the more readily obtainable New Orleans eagles of the No Motto design type, the 1858-O is scarce in an absolute sense, and particularly so in grades above EF-45. A superior quality survivor from a mintage of just 20,000 pieces.From the Paisley Acres Collection.
