1842-O 50C Medium Date, Reverse of 1842 MS64 PCGS A splendid example having a remarkably bold strike that displays excellent detail definition virtually everywhere including Liberty's tresses, all of her drapery, each of the obverse stars, both of the shields, and all of the eagle's plumage. The luster is frosty and both surfaces are deeply toned in blended steel-gray and tan-brown. Despite a relatively large mintage of 754,000 pieces, few Uncirculated examples were set aside at the time of issue, with the result that there are probably only two or three dozen Mint State survivors residing in collections today, mostly in the MS60 to MS63 range. Population: 4 in 64, one finer (64+). (PCGS 6242)
