Post Your New Orleans Half Eagles

Wahoo554

I seldom see posts of NOLA $5’s on the forum. Let’s see some coins. To kick it off, here is an XF45 1854-O. This date is often mistakenly perceived as “common”, but the mintage of only 46,000 and the PCGS survival estimate of less than 200 suggests otherwise.

Bumping this one to the top. I know there are some great-looking NOLA half eagles out there, such as the op's example. Unfortunately, I have no half eagles from our southern-most mint to post, only a number of their eagle cousins.

I have no O gold coins.... I was mostly stacking thru the early to late nineties. I do have some collector gold, but mostly roll around on my stacks like Scrooge McDuck Cheers, RickO

Here is my one and only New Orleans Mint $5 gold. It's part of my "all mints" $5 gold set.

man that 45-o is a rare coin. Also the 54-o is among the nicest not MS examples i have ever seen. They come so processed

Some great coins. Only a couple half eagle posts so far. Would love to see more. Here’s another XF45. This is a large letters 43-O from the never ending Fairmont hoard:

here's my 54-0, now in a NGC AU Details Cleaned slab. I think it was sea salvaged.....
