1831 Half Dollar, O-103, MS65+
Colorfully Toned Type Coin

1831 50C O-103, R.1, MS65+ NGC. With a mintage of more than 5.8 million pieces, the 1831 half dollar is an available date, ideal for type purposes. While Choice examples are obtainable, Gems are scarce, and anything finer is out of reach for most collectors. This MS65+ coin provides a tremendous opportunity for the type collector or Overton specialist. Satiny luster highlights pale champagne toning that deepens to copper-orange around the peripheries. The design elements are well-defined, and grade-limiting abrasions are primarily limited to a few light, scattered ticks on the obverse portrait. There is a die crack along the base of the date and the upright of the 5 in 50 C. is recut. Census: 51 in 65 (4 in 65+), 17 finer (4/20).
