NGC AU50

Type: 5c

Recommended Grade: VF30 or VF35

In 1994, Stack's auctioned a leg of the James R. Stack collection (no relation). A 1848-O Eagle sold for $140,000 in the sale! This coin was later graded MS66 by PCGS, and featured in a full-page advertisement by that firm.

The crosslet of the 4 is long, nearly touching the base. The 1848-O eagle comes softly struck, on both the centers and the stars. Examples of this date exist with and without a raised ring on the reverse shield. This ring can also be found on 1849 and 1851-3 New Orleans eagles.
