<B>1847-O $5 AU53 PCGS.</B></I> As the least available No Motto New Orleans half eagle across all grades, the 1847-O has become a prime prize for the specialist in that Mint. The issue, which originally consisted of just 12,000 pieces, encountered heavy circulation and many examples were lost. In his 2006 <I>Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint</B></I>, Doug Winter estimated that the surviving population amounted to just 40 to 50 pieces.<BR> This representative shows luminous mustard-gold surfaces with subtle rose overtones. The overall appearance is surprisingly clean, though a shallow planchet flaw is noted next to star 2. This issue is normally found with a better-defined reverse, though the two sides show equally strong detail on the present piece. Considerable visual appeal for the grade assigned. Population: 7 in 53, 2 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
