Delightful 1843-O Small Letters Half Eagle, AU53

1843-O $5 Small Letters AU53 NGC. The 1843-O is a scarce issue in all grades, and is seldom seen in AU50 or finer. Although it is uncertain how many 1843-O Small Letters half eagles were struck (estimates range from 19,075 to 47,500), it is generally held that they are scarcer than their Large Letters counterpart. Yellow-gold surfaces show a number of minor abrasions, but none are worthy of specific mention. The tips of the wings and the claws are soft, as typically seen, and the hair is weakly struck, also as usual. Nevertheless, all of the stars are sharply defined and there is great eye appeal. Census: 4 in 53, 18 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P7)
