1839-O H10C MS (PCGS#4320)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1839-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. No Drapery. Repunched Date, Small O. MS-63 (PCGS). This pretty example exhibits mottled reddish-apricot and powder blue iridescence to soft, satiny mint luster. Sharply struck overall with a reverse that is rotated slightly less than 45 degrees clockwise from medallic alignment. The 1839-O is the New Orleans Mint's second half dime, and the first of the Stars Obverse Liberty Seated design type. The 1839-O was produced in a locality and during an era when there was virtually no contemporary numismatic activity, with the result that New Orleans Mint issues such as this were largely consumed by commercial use which, after all, was their intended purpose. The few Mint State coins that have come down to the present day survived almost exclusively as a matter of chance. PCGS Population: 9; 14 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 4320. NGC ID: 232T.
