Description

1893-O Half Eagle, MS63
Conditionally Elusive O-Mint Issue

1893-O $5 MS63 NGC. Variety 1. Following the resumption of coinage operations in 1879, the New Orleans Mint only produced Liberty Head half eagles in 1892, 1893, and 1894. Of these, the 1893-O had the highest mintage (110,000 pieces), and is the most frequently encountered in Mint State. Still, the typical piece is heavily abraded, grading no finer than MS62, and Select or finer examples are rare. This MS63 coin displays a sharp strike and soft yellow-gold luster. Light, scattered abrasions limit the grade, but none are individually detracting. Census: 16 in 63, 3 finer (10/14).(Registry values: P3)
