1842-O, Medium O. NGC graded MS-65. Lightly toned on both sides and a key date that is seldom found this well preserved. The color is mostly bright silver with ample luster and a pleasing strike on the devices. The early New Orleans coins are truly rare in high grades, particularly so in mint state. This one is certainly at the top of those known for the date and mint, and worthy of the most stellar collection. Pop 3; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. <DOTLEADER> Estimated Value $10,000 - UP
