882 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $500.00 |
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 PCGS Genuine/cleaned (AU details)
|
PCGS-92 indicates "cleaning", and while accurate in this case, such a disclaimer almost seems superfluous, as the coin is no worse than many already in slabs. Only light cleaning affects the fields,... |

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. |

1149 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,400.00 |
1844-O NGC AU-58.
|
No patina can be discerned on either side, which is the reason the surfaces are so pale and nearly lemon-yellow in color. The most common New Orleans half-eagle and always available in lower grades,... |

911 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $340.00 |
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... |

1022 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $700.00 |
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... |
