Scarcity: A very scarce date to obtain in VF or better.  Locating a well struck and problem free 1843-O example
in EF or better will prove to be most difficult.  The 1843-O is a key date in AU or better and is extremely rare
in Mint State grade.  
 
Updated Greer Rarity Ratings
Overall Rarity: G-VG R3-, F-VF R4-, EF-AU R6-, MS R7++       
    
Comments: Reverse weakness is typical in the bow know and central portions of the leaves.  The quality of striking
can be erratic from piece to piece.  In EF or better, this date is highly underrated and should command a significant
premium for a well struck example.
