- 1843-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-2. Rarity-3. MS-62 (PCGS). OGH.
This handsome piece is boldly toned in blended olive-gray, dusky-copper, champagne-apricot, powder blue and pale rose. The most vivid colors are reserved for direct lighting angles, as is appreciation of softly frosted mint luster. Sharply struck with an uncommonly smooth appearance in hand relative to the assigned grade. The 1843-O is one of the more plentiful New Orleans Mint half dollars from the 1840s, the mintage a respectable 2,268,000 pieces. This comment applies only to circulated coins, however, as in Mint State this issue is very scarce with a Rarity-5+ rating per Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert (The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars, 1993).
Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
PCGS# 6244. NGC ID: 24GY.
