- Smooth, satiny surfaces are adorned with lovely steel-blue iridescence with some scattered spots of gold on the obverse. This piece is exceptionally well defined on both sides, an uncommon feature in an early New Orleans Mint coin. This is a rare issue today despite a mintage of 350,000 pieces, researchers believe that only 250 distinct examples exist today. No more than 25 of those are Mint State, and this lovely jewel is high among that select group. Furthermore this is from the famed New Orleans Mint, our southernmost mint location and an important port city as well. Many collectors focus on the coins issued from New Orleans as a specialty as there are so many challenging issues in both gold and silver that were struck at this famed Mint. In sum, this fantastic MS-62 1842-O half dime is certain to please either the date and mint collector as well as the New Orleans specialist for its incredible technical condition along with its attractive eye appeal.
