Description
1845-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-6. Repunched Date. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC.
This lovely eagle is drenched in bold honey-olive color with an tinge of intermingled rose-orange. Boldly to sharply struck with ample luster in a softly frosted texture. The 1845-O is one of the scarcer New Orleans Mint eagles from the 1840s, although a small hoard that surfaced during the early 1990s has made the issue somewhat available in the EF-45 to AU-53 grade range. Any finer and the 1845-O is rare. In truth, premium quality coins at all grade levels, including the present Fairmont Collection specimen in Choice EF, are eagerly sought by astute collectors. This issue is also popular with specialists due to the existence of several Repunched and Misplaced Date varieties, as here.
PCGS# 8593. NGC ID: 262V.
From the Fairmont Collection - Sussex Set.
