Description

1893-O Half Eagle, MS63
Nearly Unobtainable Any Finer

1893-O $5 MS63 PCGS. Variety 1. A single variety is known. The 1893-O five dollar has the second highest mintage (110,000 pieces) of any half eagle from this mint, and is the most common five in Uncirculated grades from New Orleans. That said, MS63 examples are challenging. PCGS and NGC have graded a total of 33 Select coins and a mere three pieces finer. Lustrous surfaces exhibit soft rose-gold color and the design elements are well-struck. Fewer marks are seen than is typically seen on Uncirculated survivors. Population: 17 in 63 (2 in 63+), 1 finer (8/13).(Registry values: P3)
