 1839'O' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Here is a delightful example of this elusive issue that retains ample mint frost and delicate blue and light gold toning over most of the surface. The strike is sharp and both the obverse and reverse die show extensive die cracks through the date, stars and reverse legends and devices. This is a middle die state as these cracks continue to expand in width and length on others seen from this die pairing. Examination will find a few minor scuffs and hairlines, expected for the grade. An impressive example of this issue, and always in great demand for the unusual obverse mintmark and as one of the initial coinages from the fledgling New Orleans Mint.
