<B>1909-O $5 MS61 PCGS.</B></I> Another key-date issue that needs no introduction, the 1909-O half eagle is a true numismatic oddball, the only O-mint half eagle produced in the 20th century and the last year of coinage at the New Orleans Mint, which also comprised Barber dimes, quarters, and half dollars. A few contact marks noted on each side constitute the grade, but the surfaces are still lustrous, with appealing khaki-gold coloration and an above-average strike for the issue. The O mintmark is not bold, of course, but it is visible to the naked eye, and the reverse appears choice for the assigned grade.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Bela Lyon Pratt<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
