<B>1845-O<$2 1/2> XF45 PCGS.</B></I> This issue was a longtime favorite of B. Max Mehl, who succeeded in drumming up quite a bit of popularity for those examples that survived from an original mintage of 4,000 pieces. Today, the '45-O is still highly respected among Southern gold specialists, particularly in grades above XF40. This coin possesses olive-gold color with a slightly hazy look to the surfaces. Neither side reveals any sizeable or individually bothersome abrasions, although some apparent softness of strike over the highpoints and around the peripheries is noted. The 18 in the date are boldly repunched--a feature common to all known survivors of this issue. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
