1839-O Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. HALF DOL. GR-1. Rarity-1. Repunched Mintmark. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS). This is the second issue that features the New Orleans mintmark on the obverse of the half dollar, the first of course the extremely rare 1838-O. The 1839-O is the only realistically obtainable mintmarked half dollar of the Capped Bust design type for most collectors, although we stress that most survivors are far more heavily worn than the offered specimen. From the Abigail Collection, Part II.
