Description

1830 Half Dollar, O-110, Sharply Struck PR65
The Finest Certified at NGC

1830 50C PR65 NGC. O-110, R.8 as a Proof. The following attribute the variety: The point of Liberty's upper-right hair curl is beneath and between TY in LIBERTY, a triangular defect resting on the the left side of the crossbar of the A in STATES, a high, tall M in AMERICA, the I in PLURIBUS centered under the left side of the second T in STATES.
NGC has graded two 1830 half dollar proofs, a PR64 and the present PR65; PCGS has certified a PR62 Cameo.
The Gem example in this lot displays light- to medium-intensity cobalt-blue with lavender accents on the obverse along with lighter hues of this color palette on the reverse. Sharply struck design elements are seen on both sides, highlighted by the mirrored fields, especially on the reverse. No marks are worthy of individual mention. Interesting die lines are visible below the bust.
