1844-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Misplaced Date, Repunched Mintmark. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
Richly original color in deep honey-orange is seen on both sides of this premium example. Crisply impressed with razor sharp striking detail throughout, and displaying nearly full luster in a frosty to modestly semi-prooflike texture. Quite well preserved with abundant eye appeal, even the most discerning Southern gold enthusiast will be impressed by this noteworthy Choice AU coin. Despite its status as one of the more readily obtainable New Orleans Mint issues from the early Liberty Head eagle series, the 1844-O is scarce in AU and very rare in Mint State. Uncirculated survivors can be counted on two to three hands, confirming the significance of this CAC-approved AU-55 for advanced collectors specializing in New Orleans Mint coinage or Liberty Head eagles.
PCGS# 8591. NGC ID: 262T.
