1820 Half Dollar, MS64
Square Base 2, Large Date, O-104

1820 50C Square Base 2, Large Date, Knob, O-104, R.3, MS64 NGC. The widely spaced date and knobbed, square-base 2 distinguish the scarce O-104 obverse. D in UNITED was entered low in the die, confirming the variety. This is a richly toned example, with softly lustrous golden-tan undertones and brown accents that deepen to bluish-brown around the raised elements. A fresh obverse die displays needle-sharp stars and bold definition that weakens just a bit at the highest points of Liberty's curls and drapery. The surfaces are free of any meaningful marks or abrasions, with smooth fields and a faint, toned-over mark near the ear on Liberty's jawline. The reverse is in its second use and shows traces of die wear. A pair of right-side reverse die cracks exist on all O-104 examples, but no die chipping is seen that characterizes a later die state. This coin ranks high in the O-104 Condition Census alongside at least three other MS64 coins.
