- 1851-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
Offered is a significant Choice AU examples from among the Fairmont Collection's New Orleans Mint eagles. This beautiful 1851-O exhibits frosty medium 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. Ranking behind the 1847-O, the 1851-O is the second most common New Orleans Mint eagle of the No Motto type. Lower grade circulated examples trade with enough frequency that locating one should prove fairly easy under normal market conditions. The same cannot be said for coins that approach the Mint State threshold, however, for at these levels the 1851-O develops into a significant condition rarity. We have handled very few Choice AU coins over the years, ever fewer that we can recall matching or surpassing the offered Fairmont Collection specimen in terms of originality, quality or eye appeal. Worthy of the strongest bids.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
