1893-O $5 MS (PCGS#8385)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. This is a handsome golden-orange example with full, satiny mint luster and a sharply executed strike. Despite its status as the second most plentiful New Orleans Mint half eagle, the 1893-O is a scarce issue in an absolute sense with a limited 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 the basal MS-62 level. With premium quality surfaces for the assigned grade, as confirmed by the coveted CAC sticker, this lovely coin represents the finest realistically obtainable for the issue as far as most collectors are concerned.
