The 1847-O Liberty Head Eagle is an artifact of early 19th century American numismatics, struck at the New Orleans Mint during a period of economic expansion. NGC has graded 263 as AU53 with 460 finer.
As the highest-mintage No Motto Eagle from this Southern facility—totaling 571,500 pieces—it circulated widely in antebellum trade, embodying the era's optimism and industrial growth.
Graded AU-53 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this coin exhibits About Uncirculated details with light wear on Liberty's cheek and the eagle's feathers, preserving much original luster and sharp strike. The surfaces show typical bag marks from commerce, yet retain a warm golden hue that highlights intricate details like the hair curls and shield lines. Such preservation is notable for New Orleans issues, often harshly handled in Southern commerce.
This specimen's provenance traces to the legendary Granite Lady Hoard, a cache of gold coins unearthed from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake's rubble, hidden in a vault. Its survival through fire and disaster adds a layer of historical romance, connecting collectors to tales of resilience amid one of America's greatest urban calamities.
