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 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)
|
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,... |

842 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $550.00 |
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... |
