Description
1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.
A delightful half eagle with frosty golden-rose surfaces on both sides. Well struck and generally sharp, the luster is full with a softly frosted texture. Despite its status as the second most plentiful New Orleans Mint half eagle, the 1893-O is scarce in an absolute sense with a mintage of 110,000 coins. With survivors seldom encountered in grades below AU-50, it is likely that the issue did not circulate to any great extent but, rather, was exported in quantity. Indeed, repatriations from foreign bank hoards undoubtedly account for the majority of Mint State survivors, most of which grade no finer than this example presented here.
PCGS# 8385. NGC ID: 25YC.
From the Fairmont Collection - Sussex Set.
