Lot 2178
1845-O. NGC graded AU-58. Only 47,500 struck. The 1845-O in this condition is much scarcer than some of the other New Orleans mint dates around it. A well struck example of this O-mint release from the formative years of the Mississippi River region whose main port of New Orleans was a beehive of activity (as it remains today). Well defined devices go together with the still-lustrous surfaces. Sharply struck for the date, in fact, and easily fitting into the AU58 category. Pop 22; 12 finer (PCGS # 8593) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
