The 43-O small letters $5 is a scarce and underrated coin. According to Doug Winter, it is the third rarest New Orleans half eagle, trailing behind only the 47-O and the 42-O with an estimated population of 90-100. It’s especially tough to find nice. To date, only 16 have been stickered by CAC. This XF45 is in an old blue holder and is sharp for the grade. Asking $SOLD.
Most recent CAC comps are an XF45 that sold for $3,450 and a Fairmont AU50 that sold for $4,920. Here are the comp links. Photos of the coin below. Happy to send video and additional images on request. https://coins.ha.com/itm/liberty-half-eagles/1843-o-5-small-letters-xf45-pcgs-cac-variety-2-small-o-mintmark-an-early-die-state-with-crisp-upper-stars-and-no-crack/a/63212-92027.s
