Highest Graded CAC-Approved 1853-O Eagle 1853-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. A remarkable condition rarity worthy of inclusion in the finest numismatic cabinet. Vivid bright golden-olive surfaces are semi-prooflike on the obverse with appreciable reflectivity in the field; the reverse exhibits a more uniform frosty texture. Both sides are boldly to sharply struck throughout with an impressively smooth appearance for the issue as well as the assigned grade. With a mintage of 51,000 coins, the 1853-O is the third most plentiful issue in the pre-Civil War era New Orleans Mint eagle series behind the 1847-O and 1851-O. However, the vast majority of survivors are concentrated at the VF and EF grade levels, often with surface problems. This issue is a major rarity in Mint State, with Doug Winter (2020) accounting for only four to five survivors at that level. This newcomer to the Condition Census from the Fairmont Collection is one of the finest 1853-O eagles we have ever offered, and the only certified Mint State coin to meet with CAC approval. It is sure to catch the eye of seasoned numismatists. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 4; with a single MS-62 finer. CAC Population: 1; 0. PCGS# 8612.
