CoinCorgi's O-Type Set (so far)

The New Orleans Branch Mint produced coins from 1838-1861 and from 1879-1909. During the years 1861-1879 the Civil War and Reconstruction interrupted normal production.

A basic O-Type Set includes...

Three-Cent Piece

Silver 3-cent (x)​

Half Dime

Liberty Seated (x)​

Dime

Liberty Seated (x)
Barber (x)​

Quarter

Half Dollar

Capped Bust (-)

Morgan (x)​

Gold $1

Liberty Head (x)
Indian Princess (-)​

Gold $2.5

Classic Head (-)
Liberty Head (-)​

Gold $3

Indian Head (-)​

Gold $5

Liberty Head (x)

Gold $10

Liberty Head (x)​

Gold $20

Liberty Head (-)​

I've indicate in the list above the ones I have an example(s) of in my collection with an (x) and the ones I don't yet have with a (-).

It is highly unlikely I will be getting a Capped Bust Half and a few of the gold coins, but this is my set and I will say when it is complete!

Lib. Seated Dollard 1859-O...


That's it so far.

 

Oh man!! I wish those were mine!!

 

The 1909-O $5 and the Double Eagle are going to be the pricey ones here; one can dream, right?

 

I'm going to go ahead and call this type set O-positive.

 

If anyone has a capped bust half from New Orleans, I'd love to see it! Especially if it's a 1838-O!!!

 

sorry, no 38-O half. Just this.

 

Sweet!

Gimme?

 

No 38-O but here's my 39-O.

 

Excellent. Great looking coin.

 

BTW, the Capped Bust Half is the only coin minted in New Orleans where the O mint mark is located on the obverse.

Edit: See below for correction.

 

I thought the Classic head was obverse as well? Btw this thread as got me thinking about a 1839-O because I love cool mint marks

 

Yes that's the 39-O QE.

 

Ah yes, I was focused on the silver, not thinking about the gold. Thanks for pointing out my omission.

 

Okay then, now someone needs to post their 1839-O quarter eagle!

 

John Milton?

 

@johnmilton

 

Nope. The closest I can get is an 1839-O $2.50 gold.

I did compete against a collector who had an 1838-O half dollar in the 2019 FUN exhibits. He won the People’s Choice Award.

 

Yes, that's the one! Post it if ya get a chance!
