Description

1847-O/O Half Dollar, MS64+
WB-102, Repunched Mintmark

1847-O/O 50C WB-102, Die Pair 8, R.3, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. This richly toned near-Gem is well-detailed save for a minor depression in the obverse shield stripes and localized softness on a few of the obverse stars and on the eagle's left (facing) talon. Variegated shades of pearl-gray, sunset-golden, and blue intermingle over each side in varying degrees. The 1847-O does not stand out among early New Orleans Mint half dollars, and its mintage of nearly 2.6 million pieces is comparatively high. However, those factors downplay its true rarity in Choice and better grades. This Plus-graded and CAC-endorsed coin is a seldom-offered Registry Set candidate that ranks high in the Condition Census not only for the Repunched Mintmark variety, but for all varieties of the issue.
