1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.

Lustrous golden-rose surfaces exhibit razor sharp striking detail from the rims to the centers. 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. As survivors are seldom encountered in grades below AU-50, it is likely that the issue did not circulate to any great extent. On the other hand, the 1893-O is also rare at and above the Choice Mint State level. This premium quality MS-62, therefore, represents the finest quality that is realistically obtainable for most of today's gold enthusiasts.

PCGS# 8385. NGC ID: 25YC.

PCGS Population: 58; 17 finer (MS-64+ finest).
