Description
1829 Small Letters Half, O-112, MS63
1829 50C Small Letters MS63 NGC. O-112, R.1. A cluster of die lines between the date and star 13 are visible on early die states of the O-112, as here. Cherry pickers will do well to memorize this obverse. It appears in its late die state, without the die lines, on the R.8 (2 known) 1829 O-120 (which was actually struck in 1831), married to a different reverse that was first used in 1831, the 1831 O-104. The present example has the classic appearance of many half-dollars from the Newman Collection. It features a deep, lightly iridescent crust of antique toning over original, unblemished surfaces.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N1793)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
