Description

1843-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Small Letters. Winter-2. Die State I. EF Details--Wheel Mark (PCGS).
This relatively appealing khaki-orange example is sharply struck in most areas with traces of frosty luster remaining. The Small Letters is the first variety of half eagle struck in the New Orleans Mint during 1843. Its mintage is estimated at just 19,075 pieces, as opposed to 82,000 coins for the 1843-O Large Letters. Scarce to rare in all grades, the Small Letters commands the respect of Liberty Head and New Orleans Mint gold enthusiasts at all levels of preservation.
PCGS# 8217. NGC ID: 25T5.
From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.

Estimate: $900
