1843-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Large Letters. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU Details--Wheel Mark (PCGS).Medium golden-honey color is seen on both sides of this lustrous, frosty AU example. Well struck overall, although the hair curls along Libertys brow are a bit blunt. Otherwise smooth for the grade, a vertical wheel mark over the left third of the reverse explains the PCGS qualifier. Mintage for this variety of the 1843-O half eagle is believed to be 82,000 coins, versus just under 20,000 pieces for the scarcer Small Letters variety. The Large Letters type is most often found in grades of EF and lower, making the present offering of a more affordable AU coin a significant opportunity.PCGS# 8216.
