Lot Description

FROM THE BOYLSTON COLLECTION PART III The 1843-O, despite a decent mintage of 2,268,000, is quite challenging to find in any Mint State grade. This is a neat example that has strong claims to a higher grade (no promises). A rich satiny brilliance gleams all over the surfaces highlighting a softly shimmering golden hue. A well struck early New Orleans half, the grade is limited by a smattering of scattered marks, mostly seen on the reverse above the eagle, but this coin is quite nice, even for its modest grade. PCGS 7, NGC 12. The most recent example sold for $1,560 in November 2019 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $2,000. RARE finer, this is a lovely example for the budget minded collector. Cert. Number 37787630 PCGS # 6244
