1838-O Half Dime

5 posts in this topic

Yep, Good-4

 

According to Walter Breen in his 1958 half dime suppliment booklet, the 1838-O half dimes circulated with the half reale coins in the New Orleans area roughly at par. Since the half reale coins contained slightly more silver people tended to set those coins aside and the 1838-O half dimes took a beating. Most pieces that have survived are in this grade.
