1843-O $10 PCGS AU-55
After the 1847-O, the 1843-O is the most available New Orleans Mint Half Eagle of the 1840s, though finding an unabraded and attractive choice AU piece may require some patience . A rich and crusty yellow gold patina blankets the surfaces, with some splashes of frost near the peripheries. This example is sharp and well struck, with fully defined dentils, sharp stars, and most of the central hair detail remaining . A prime example for those looking for a wholesome and original New Orleans Mint Half Eagle.
