1844-O PCGS Genuine (code 92, AU details/cleaned).
|
|
The "cleaning" referenced by the PCGS code-92 is innocuous at worst, since the surfaces are not at all harshly hairlined or abraded. Indeed, the dull greyish overtone that inhibits luster may simply... |

1844-O PCGS AU-50.
|
|
Mintage of 364,600 makes the 1844-O one of the more available New Orleans half-eagles, and a coin well suited to mintmark-type purposes. The unmistakable glint of flashy luster emanates from the... |

1844-O NGC AU details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Effects from cleaning are not terrible by any means, but nearly all the original luster has regrettably been eliminated. Sharpness is pretty nice for the issue, with all stars nicely segmented. |

1844-O PCGS Genuine/cleaned (AU details)

|

1844-O AU.
|
|
Closer to uncirculated than not, with sharp definition unexpected of New Orleans. Surfaces are a little dull, possibly from an old cleaning, which is the impetus for only an AU-50 grade assessment. |

|
1844-O Coronet half-eagle, PCGS XF-45
|
|
Pale lemon-yellow surfaces lack ideal originality, resulting in a somewhat flat appearance. This impression is augmented by the fact that the generally mediocre strike failed to bring up some of the... |

1844-O, 1845, 1878 and 1879. Cleaned XF.

Your cataloger would have preferred to separate these for individual sale, but our consignor insisted that the four coins remain together. Despite an erratic but light cleaning, the 1844-O is a far... |
