Thanks to the Fairmont Hoard, No Motto eagles have seen the greatest number of changes of all the major types of New Orleans gold when it comes to Condition Census coins…
The New Orleans mint produced Liberty Head half eagles from 1840 through 1857 and again from 1892 through 1894. There were a total of 16 different issues constituting three distinct types.
To celebrate the publication of my new book on New Orleans gold coinage I am going to feature a series of interesting blogs which touch on various aspects of these issues…
I wanted to have something special at the 2018 Philadelphia ANA show: why not produce a limited edition of special hardcover copies of my brand-spanking-new, soon-to-be-released, third-edition reference titled Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, 1838-1909?
