详细说明

1893-O Liberty Half Eagle. Winter Variety One, the only known dies. MS-60 (NGC). The highest-mintage New Orleans Mint Five from the 1890s, the 1893-O (110,00 pieces produced) is actually the most plentiful Half Eagle from this Mint in high grades. These facts confirm the 1893-O as an important issue for mintmarked type purposes. A reddish-rose BU with no singularly conspicuous abrasions, this piece also offers suitably lustrous surfaces at the basal Mint State grade. An otherwise bold strike comes up short only in isolated areas around the centers, as typically seen for the issue.
