The New Orleans half eagle date run is a choppy and sporadic date run the runs from 1840 to the 1890's with a massive gap between 1857 and 1892. In similar spirit to the thread a few months back on Charlotte $5's, how about posting your New Orleans $5's in an effort to complete the set in this thread.
I'll start with the first coin in the series and the two keys...
1840-O Variety 3 in P40 CAC with a nice "leather pouch" look in hand
1842-O P40 CAC, ex. Littlejohn (and RYK). One of my favorite dates, only about 5 dozen known. This one of four certified by CAC.
Finally, the 1847-O $5, the toughest date in the series with about four dozen known Graded P35 CAC from Doug Winter. This date has really appreciated in the last few years.

All look nice except this one, the dullish grey color certainly wouldn't be an applicate for my O type set.
I think we can pull a better one in this thread!
Nice coins nonetheless.

Thanks Al. The 47-O has that beautiful electric blue coloration in the lighter colored areas that is so attractive on circulated original gold. Tough coin to find as I'm sure you know. An acceptable example might come up every 2-3 years especially with the NO market picking up.
