Description
NGC 1843-O MS 61. While certainly not the rarest O-mint ten in the No Motto series, the '43-O is surprisingly difficult in strict, problem-free, mint condition. A number of sea salvaged pieces are known, and while these are technically uncirculated, they are certainly less desirable than coins with a non-oceanic past. The few solid mint state coins known of this issue seem to have all come from a small hoard unearthed on a Mississippi plantation in 1974. However, if this coin is from that hoard, it certainly is atypical as it lacks the grime usually seen around the devices, and it also lacks the heavy abrasions incurred by most pieces in the process of being unearthed.
The surfaces of this piece are very bright and the fields show a semi-prooflike glimmer. There are very few abrasions, the most obvious one being in the upper reverse field out from the eagle's beak. Rated as a high R.7 in mint state. Population: 2 in 61, none are finer.
