1899-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Repunched Date. MS-62 (PCGS).A fully struck and lustrous example with a softly frosted texture to honey-rose surfaces. The scarcest of the New Orleans Mint eagles from the 1890s, the 1899-O entered the annals of numismatic history as a low mintage date with just 37,047 pieces produced. Few of these coins have been discovered in foreign bank hoards, and for those that have MS-61 and MS-62 are the most frequently offered grades. An upper end coin for the assigned grade, the present example offers superior eye appeal that is sure to result in spirited competition between astute bidders.
