1841-O H10C MS66 NGC
<B>1841-O H10C MS66 NGC.</B></I> Medium O mintmark. Specialists who collect the Seated Liberty half dimes recognize certain dates as major rarities, and other dates as condition rarities. A member of the second group, the 1841-O is plentiful in circulated and lower Mint State grades, but extremely rare in Gem quality.<BR> At least five different die varieties are known, with Small O and Medium O mintmarks. At one time, Will Neil published a Large O mintmark variety, but it is now believed that his description resulted from a measurement error.<BR> Struck from worn dies that result in a grainy appearance, this lovely piece has ivory color, frosty surfaces, and brilliant luster. Most design elements are sharp, although the obverse and reverse borders fade into the fields. Census: 2 in 66, 1 finer (8/07).<BR><I>From The Beau Clerc Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
