Description

1818/7 Half Dollar, MS64
Large 8, O-101'a'
Scarce Middle Die State

1818/7 50C Large 8, O-101a, R.1, MS64 NGC. A gap in the dentils beneath C in 50C confirms the O-101 reverse, and the bold underdigit 7 has its ears high above the primary 8 to confirm the variety. A strong die crack from star 11 to Liberty's curls suggests a late die state, although the reverse does not yet display the diagnostic O-101a die crack that runs through 50C, the leaves, and UNI. We believe that die crack is requisite for a full O-101a designation (as shown on the holder). This coin is distinctive and interesting in any regard -- a seldom-encountered middle die state. Golden-brown toning deepens to antique-brown at the margins. Softly lustrous Choice Uncirculated surfaces are razor-sharp and free of even tiny marks or abrasions. Eye appeal is exceptional for this popular overdate, which is seldom seen finer in either the early or late die states.
