Nicely struck, too, with outstanding detail at the usual Achilles&#39; heel on the stars and hair curls. New Orleans Mint began operations in 1838. The half dollars struck there in 1838 and 1839 carry the &#34;O&#34; mintmark on the obverse. Beginning in 1840, the mintmark would be switched to the reverse underneath the eagle on the half dollars <B>&#40;PCGS # 6181&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;2,000 - 2,200. <BR><BR>Our item number 126532<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/126532.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/126532N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/126532N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SR C="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/126532N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
