<B>1844-O $5 AU58 PCGS.</B></I> Despite the relatively high mintage of more than 364,000 pieces, the 1844-O half eagle is elusive in Mint State, and the average survivor only grades AU50 or so. The present piece is extremely well struck for an O-mint coin of this era, showing only minor weakness on the highpoint hair under Liberty's coronet, and trifling softness on the fletchings. Much luster and a hint of prooflikeness radiate from the attractive yellow-gold surfaces. Population: 20 in 58, 22 finer (2/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
