Liberty Half Eagles
1844-O $5 MS63 NGC. Variety 4. Earlier die states of this variety show repunching on the bottom of the mintmark, although in this state it is lapped away. The 1844-O half eagle is a readily available issue from the New Orleans Mint, ideal for collectors seeking a single type coin. A few examples of this issue were among the coins recovered from the S.S. Central America. However, Uncirculated examples are scarce, and they are rare in MS63 and finer condition. This piece displays satiny mint luster and rich orange-gold and peach color. The strike is sharp, and neither side has severe abrasions -- only light handling marks in the fields appear to limit the grade. An eye-appealing No Motto New Orleans half eagle. Census: 14 in 63 (1 in 63+), 6 finer (2/24).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2020), lot 5290.
