Description
Superlative WB-102 1840-O Half Dollar, MS64
The Rare Very Small Mintmark Variety
Possibly Finest Known
1840-O 50C MS64 PCGS. Breen-4752, WB-102. Very Small
Mintmark. Breen (1988) writes that this variety is rare and usually
seen in low grades. This is the finest 1840-O certified by PCGS
(7/10) and may be the finest known example of the Very Small
Mintmark variety. Impressive luster radiates beneath variegated
violet and hazel toning. The strike is razor-sharp, save for a
touch of weakness on Liberty's head. There are no marks visible to
the unaided eye. A connoisseur will appreciate the importance of
this outstanding specimen.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24GN, PCGS# 6235, GSID# 6312)
