***Auction Highlight*** 1839-o Mint Error GR-1 RPM Capped Bust Half Dollar 50c Graded Choice Unc By USCG. The New Orleans Mint opened in 1838 and produced its first half dollars, 20 proof examples dated 1838-O, in January of 1839. A further 178,976 coins dated 1839-O were delivered throughout this year, and this issue is the only collectible O-mint half dollar of the 1838-1839 Reeded Edge type. Breen asserts that the 1839-O was extensively hoarded by the public as the first business strike half dollar from the New Orleans Mint. If this is true, then the majority of these coins were retrieved from circulation because this issue is a significant rarity in Mint State. Bright and satiny, the present near-Gem is one of the finest certified examples available to today's specialists. Delicate champagne iridescence overlays both sides, and the striking definition is as close to full as one could expect for the issue.
