1840-O
.
NGC graded AU-55
. Nice even gold toning on both
sides with slightly deeper gold hues on the uppermost devices.
Only 33,580 struck and from that meager beginning a scant 125
or so are known today. The strike is decent, although the left
thigh of the eagle shows moderate striking softness, common to
this issue. This is one of the finer examples technically, as most
fall into the XF-40 to AU-55 range. Finer pieces quickly become
prohibitive for most collectors to pursue, especially in any Mint
State grade.
Pop 20; 39 finer at NGC.

1842-O
.
NGC graded AU-50
. Light even toning on both
sides. The 1842-O is one of the tougher New Orleans issues to
find at all, especially so in high grade. Furthermore, these usu-
ally come poorly stuck up, not so here, as Liberty has most of
her hair definition and the eagle' s thigh is sharper than most
seen. Surface quality is attractive with minor scattered nicks
from circulation. Only 19,800 struck, and today there are just
over 100 known.
Pop 12; 71 finer at NGC.
