<B>1847-O $5 --Altered Surfaces--ANACS. AU53 Details.</B></I> The 1847-O five dollar piece (12,000 mintage), according to U.S. gold specialists Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006), "... is the rarest half eagle from the New Orleans mint and one of the rarest of the era. The date is very underappreciated in comparison to the more readily available issues from the Dahlonega and Charlotte mints." This lightly circulated piece possesses bright yellow-gold surfaces that display a greenish tint, and are lightly granular throughout, possibly from being cleaned with a chemical solution. All of the design features are quite well defined, and just a few minute contact marks are scattered about.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
