- Offered is a significant Mint State rarity from among the Fairmont Collection's New Orleans Mint eagles. This beautiful 1851-O exhibits frosty olive-gold surfaces with overlying orange-apricot highlights evident. The strike is impressively sharp for an O-Mint ten from the early 1850s, softness minor and largely confined to some of the obverse stars.<p>Ranking behind the 1847-O, the 1851-O is the second most common New Orleans Mint eagle of the No Motto type. Circulated examples trade with enough frequency that locating one should prove fairly easy under normal market conditions. The same cannot be said for Mint State survivors, however, for at this level the 1851-O develops into a significant condition rarity. We have handled very few such coins over the years, ever fewer that we can recall matching or surpassing the offered Fairmont-JBR specimen in terms of originality, quality or eye appeal. Worthy of the strongest bids.
