1893-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-62 (PCGS).A smartly impressed, medium olive-orange example with appreciable luster quality for the assigned grade. Despite its status as the second most plentiful New Orleans Mint half eagle, the 1893-O is a scarce issue in an absolute sense with a limited mintage of 110,000 coins. With survivors seldom encountered in grades below AU-50, it is likely that the issue did not circulate to any great extent. On the other hand, the 1893-O is also rare at and above the Choice Mint State level. This handsome MS-62, therefore, represents the finest realistically obtainable for this issue as far as most of todays gold enthusiasts are concerned.
