- 1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. A delightful half eagle with frosty golden-honey 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 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 - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 28; 9 finer (MS-64+ finest). CAC Population: 9; 1. PCGS# 8385. NGC ID: 25YC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
