Coinage for 1832 amounted to 4,797,000 half dollars from 23 die marriages. This coinage was produced from combination of 15 obverse and 16 reverse dies. Actually, given that O-123 is only known in Proof format, this coinage was from 22 actual circulation strike die combinations. Of these 22 varieties, two are considered rare and another is very scarce. Just five examples of the O-123 are known, including one offered in the present sale as part of the Logan Collection. All other die marriages are offered as well. A total of 28 half dollars bearing this date are presented in the following pages.

This is the end of an era, representing the final year of production at the first United States Mint. The new building was nearing completion and occupancy, with production of coinage commencing in January 1833.
