Description

1819/8 O-106 Half Dollar, MS64
Large 9, Smooth, Lustrous Surfaces

1819/8 50C Large 9, O-106, R.4, MS64 PCGS. A scarce die marriage representing the Large 9 overdates, with flat-top 1s and an "L-shaped" closure to the 9 in the date from the remnant of an underdigit 8. A small die lump above the second 1 resembles an accent mark. A blending of olive-gray and peach-gold shades cover the lustrous, minimally marked surfaces. The strike is pleasingly bold on the drapery folds, hair curls, and stars. A non-important streak of struck-in grease at the denomination is the only mark to mention. Steve Herrman's Spring, 2016 Condition Census lists a single MS65+ coin (Ex: Eric P. Newman Collection) as the finest O-106, with three MS63 coins vying for next-finest. This near-Gem example ranks in a tie for second place in the census for the variety. Population (all Large 9 overdates): 9 in 64, 7 finer (5/16).
