Description

Conditionally Rare 1844-O Five Dollar, MS63

1844-O $5 MS63 NGC. CAC. Many of the antebellum O-mint coins of every issue appear not to have been saved in any significant quantity. Despite its high mintage of 364,000 coins, the 1844-O half eagle is no exception. Although circulated examples are quite common, it is quite rare in Mint State, and it is an issue that legendary collector Harry W. Bass, Jr. favored. The present coin offers lots of eye appeal on the lustrous greenish-gold surfaces, with considerable prooflikeness present under light field chatter. A couple of scrapes on the neck are minor but help account for the grade. The strike is bold, save at the immediate centers. Census: 10 in 63, 6 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P5)
