<Our item number 134200><B>1846-O &#36;2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62.</B> Mostly well struck. A trifle soft on the forehead curls and on the eagles legs as usual. The lustrous surfaces are frosty and light golden-orange in color. A very high grade example for this elusive issue. Fits well within the condition census. Only 62,000 pieces struck.<BR><BR>1846-O has a deeply punched logotype, with repunching within the last digit, seemingly Breen&#39;s &#34;overdate,&#34; Breen-6186, described as &#34;Repunched 4, microscopic traces of 4 within 6.&#34; Regarding this characteristic, Douglas Winter in New Orleans Mint Gold Coins: 1839-1909, commented: &#34;It has long been claimed that an 1846/44-O overdate exists. In my opinion, such pieces are not overdates&#34; What, then, is under the final 6? Upon examination it appears that the logotype was shifted, and a repunching occurred. Reverse with O mintmark high. <B>Pop 3; 2 finer, 1 in 63, 1in 64</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7743&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;8,000 - 8,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 134200<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/134200.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/134200N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
