- 1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. Warm golden-olive patina blankets both sides, the design elements boldly struck and the surfaces bathed in satiny mint luster. 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. The 1893-O is rare at and above the Choice Mint State level, ensuring this example will serve with pride in an advanced Liberty Head half eagle collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 19 finer (MS-64+ finest). PCGS# 8385. NGC ID: 25YC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
