Choice Mint State 1838-O Half Dime 1838-O Half Dime MS-64 NGC. The bright silver surfaces enjoy a wealth of luster and a blush of varied golden toning. Sharply struck throughout, though from a rusted and modestly pitted obverse die – the miasmic surroundings of New Orleans sometimes wreaked havoc on the steel dies when in storage. Die clash is evident on both sides. From a mintage for the date of 70,000 pieces, all without the stars that had been added in 1838 to the Philadelphia Mint’s dies; New Orleans would follow suit in 1839. Choice and appealing, and a coin that offers an insight to the minting efforts of the early branch mints.
