  The 1839-O half eagle.
  
  Kind of a late April fools, they did not make any.

  interesting analysis. i would have liked a little more history or speculation on why these dates may be more rare than others.

  As a note on the 51-O/O, NGC agreed to add it as a variety. No response from PCGS.

  Good read... I've owned a '47-O, '55-O and '56-O. At the time I was toying with building a complete "O" mint HE collection along with my Charlotte HEs... and then the early gold bug bit.
  
  Beautiful, wholesome coins, B... I think I like the look of the '42-O the best by a nudge.
