Reeded Edge Half Dollars
1839-O 50C GR-1, R.1, AU53 PCGS. This is the usually seen variety with recutting on the mintmark. The dies are in a late state. Two factors account for the popularity of the 1839-O: the obverse mintmark placement, and the unavailability of the only other New Orleans issue in the series. Blue-gray and peach-orange hues drape each side. Well-struck with minimal high-point friction.
