Description
1848-O MS 65. While not one of the rarer O-mint No Motto halves, the '48-O is an issue that can occasionally be located in mint condition. As such, it is of considerable importance to collectors as so few New Orleans coins from this decade are available in better grades. This is a sharply defined half that is brilliant and shows sparkling mint luster. Only minor abrasions are noted, none of which are individually significant.
This coin was struck from a die that is unlisted in the Breen and the Wiley & Bugert references. The 4 in the date is normal, and the mintmark is complete, but there is evidence of die rust in the right obverse field. Die rust is known on the Filled 4 coins on the central device of Liberty and in the date area, but we believe this may be the first time this die variety has been listed and identified.
