Description

NGC 1849-O MS 65. Walter Breen simply calls this issue "rare." Half dime specialist Al Blythe further defines its rarity by stating, "...specimens in higher grades (AU and above) are very scarce. Usually found in lower grades." In mint state he rates the '49-O as a low R.6. This piece has rich, full mint frost. The lilac toning seen over both sides is accented by a pale blue, mostly in the centers. A bit softly struck, this is, nevertheless, a hard-to-duplicate gem example of this rare O-mint issue and unquestionably one of the finest coins known. Population: 2 in 65, none are finer.
