An early No Motto New Orleans mint Eagle with surfaces that are pleasing and original. 3136 1847 AU $200.00 Strong Extremely Fine and approaching About Uncirculated in terms of wear.

Pale gold toning with some light contact marks but none are so serious as to affect the value of this coin. The strike is good on both sides with most of the detail strong. The lustre is a bit subdued but this coin still has a decent appearance. One of only 9,000 struck with very few as nicely preserved as this present example. 3144 1858'O' CH AU $9,250.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Wonderfully deep strike shows only a wisp of wear on bold devices and pleasantly glowing yellow-gold lustre.
