Comments: A very scarce variety that is infrequently offered despite a high premium. This variety is essentially unknown in grades above EF45 after years of searching by specialists. Reverse F is the left over Huge O reverse die from 1838 and is rusted at this point with heavy die erosion or die rust marks between ON(E) and DI(ME). Current CoinValues pricing for the 1839-O Huge O variety is understated at this time.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, EF40 - Ex. Greer
