The 1841-O had a mintage of 815,000 half dimes at New Orleans, continuing the branch mint's steady production of the denomination. New Orleans was producing silver coinage in meaningful quantities by the early 1840s, and the 1841-O is a common date among branch mint half dimes of the era.
The Stars Obverse With Drapery design continues unchanged from 1840. The O mintmark on the reverse identifies the coin as a New Orleans issue. Surviving examples are available in circulated grades, though New Orleans half dimes typically show somewhat softer strikes than Philadelphia coins of the same era, a characteristic of the branch mint's equipment and die preparation methods.
