- 1843-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Small Letters. AU-53 (NGC). Blended rose-gold and flint gray patina to both sides, the surfaces somewhat matte-like in texture with plenty of bold striking detail remaining. The first variety of 1843-O half eagle produced, the Small Letters features the same size lettering around the reverse periphery as seen on the 1842-O. This variety is further distinguished from the 1843-O Large Letters by a small, round O mintmark. The Small Letters is the scarcer of the two varieties of this issue, the combined mintage for which is 101,075 pieces. We believe that no more than 150 to 200 examples are extant, most of which grade EF or lower. This certified AU, therefore, represents a particularly significant find for the collector of high grade Southern gold. PCGS# 8217. NGC ID: 25T5. Click here for certification details from NGC.
