- 1843-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Large Letters. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-53 (NGC).
Blended pinkish-rose iridescence enlivens otherwise honey-olive patina on both sides of this handsome and richly original piece. Mintage for this variety of the 1843-O half eagle is believed to be 82,000 coins, versus just under 20,000 pieces for the scarcer Small Letters variety. The Large Letters type is most often found in grades of EF and lower, making the present offering for a problem free and attractive AU a significant opportunity for Liberty Head gold specialists. Struck from a late reverse die state extensive peripheral cracks and several letters weakened due to excessive repolishing of the die, especially the IC in AMERICA.
PCGS# 8216. NGC ID: 25T6.
