- This issue is the second on which the New Orleans mintmark appeared on the obverse of the half dollar, the first of course the extremely rare 1838-O half dollar. The 1839-O is the only realistically obtainable mintmarked half dollar of the Capped Bust design type as far as most collectors are concerned, although we stress that most survivors are heavily worn, impaired, or both. This is a scarce AU example with soft peripheral highlights to otherwise silver gray surfaces. Sure to see spirited bidding, especially since the 1839-O in certified grades of AU-50 to AU-58 is a mainstay on numismatic want lists.
