1828 Large Letters Half, Stunning MS65
O-115, Powerful Eye Appeal

1828 50C Square Base 2, Small 8s, Large Letters, O-115, R.2, MS65 ★ NGC. A razor-sharp Gem with terrific eye appeal. The O-115 is a relatively available Square Base 2 variety, confirmed by angled die defect lines in the field between the scroll at E of E PLURIBUS and the eagle's left (facing) wing. Golden luster glows from the centers of this vibrant half, deepening to rich caramel-gold shades framed by calico rim toning. Lavender and steel-blue shades blanket the reverse. The surfaces are remarkably mark-free. Ranking high in the Condition Census for the variety according to Steve Herrman's Spring 2016 listing, this stunning coin, in our opinion, clearly outranks all others in eye appeal and the technical quality suggests a finer grade is possible. Census (for the variety): 3 in 65 (1 in 65 ), 2 finer (4/16).
