1829 O-115 Capped Bust Half
Album-Toned Gem, CAC-Endorsed

1829 50C Small Letters, O-115, R.1, MS65 PCGS. CAC. This MS65 example is among the finest known of the variety with pleasing, turquoise-blue margins merging into reddish-gold hues and silver-gold centers on both sides of the coin. Clean, unabraded fields surround well-struck central devices, with the eagle especially bold and Liberty's hair fully defined. Steve Herrman's Spring, 2017 report shows this coin tied for second behind a single MS66 example in the Condition Census.

The O-115 variety is identified by sharp stars cut close to the milling and by Star 7 pointing to the lower-half junction of the curl and headband. On the reverse, the shield extends into arrow feathers at the bottom and the lower-most arrowhead is recut near the shaft. A pair of pincer-like tines is visible at the tip of the branch stem above "C." Population (all non-overdate varieties): 29 in 65 (5 in 65+), 4 finer. CAC: 11 in 65, 2 finer (4/17).
