1845-O Gold Half Eagle SS New York ***Price Reduction*** |
NGC MS61* | Built in 1837, the SS New York was a wooden hull, side-wheel steamship and spent most of her career shuttling between New Orleans, Louisiana and Galveston, Texas on a weekly commute. At 5:00 pm on September 05, 1846, the SS New York set sail on her what was to be her last voyage, from Galveston with 53 passengers and crew on board. Unbeknownst to all souls, they were headed straight into the path of a hurricane. By 4:00 am the following morning, the SS New York was lost at sea barely less than a hundred miles from her originating port. Thirty-six of the fifty-three on board managed to survive by holding onto debris until they were rescued two days later by the SS Galveston. Over-shadowed by the Mexican-American War, the fate of the SS New York was hardly reported in 1846 and remained locked in obscurity until 1990 at which time and enterprising oil field worker and an amateur diver began searching for the shipwreck. After years of disappointment and little reward, the SS New York's bouty of early Southern Branch Mint gold and silver coins was finally recovered in 2007. We are offering this found 1845-O Half Eagle at a price much lower than the PCGS/Collectors Universe list of $16,500! Pop 9/8 from a mintage of 41,000 circulation strikes. |

1853-O Gold Eagle |
NCS AU Details | A rarity in any condition, this coin unfornately has a 1/2 inch scratch on the reverse above the eagle's head which keeps it from the NGC holder. Only six coins have been graded by either NGC or PCGS in Mint State and all are the low Mint State 61 grade. Well struck for a New Orleans Mint coin with plenty of luster remaining, this coin would make any Eagle collection proud! |
