1843-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Large Letters. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-53 (NGC).
A blend of honey-olive patina graces both sides of this handsome and richly original piece. 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. 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 generally problem free and attractive AU an important opportunity for Liberty Head gold specialists
