1854-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (1-A). AU-53 (PCGS).Sharply to fully defined overall with warm honey-gold patina, this lustrous 1854-O half eagle will please advanced Southern gold specialists and mintmarked type collectors alike. Despite its status as the most plentiful New Orleans Mint half eagle of the No Motto type after only the 1844-O, the 1854-O is a very scarce to rare issue in an absolute sense. In solidly graded and attractive AU, as here, this coin will be of particular interest to astute bidders.
