1893-O $5 MS (PCGS#8385)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. A delightful half eagle with frosty golden-apricot 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 was exported in quantity. Repatriations from foreign bank hoards undoubtedly account for the majority of Mint State survivors, most of which grade no finer than MS-62. The 1893-O is rare at and above Choice Mint State, ensuring this example will serve with pride in another advanced Liberty Head half eagle collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. PCGS Population: 9; 2 finer (MS-64+ finest). CAC Population: 11; 1. The former total includes coins certified both MS-63 and MS-63+.
