1814 Half Dollar, MS66
O-102a, Sole Finest Certified

1814 50C O-102a, R.3, MS66 PCGS. Ex: Friend. Iridescent rainbow toning hugs the margins and drifts toward the centers of this smooth and lustrous O-102a half. Struck from a late die state (but prior to die clashing), this example lacks much of its obverse milling, with the right-hand stars drawn toward the edge. Die sinking results in a bulge around the eagle and loss of feathering on the eagle's left (facing) wing and leg.

Given the die state, much sharpness remains on the stars, portrait, and throughout the reverse elements. Frosted mint luster flashes from the reverse, while the finely grained obverse maintains a subtle lustrous glow. Remnants of die rust show attempts by the Mint to remove the rust. This is the sole O-102a Premium Gem listed in the Autumn 2019 Stephen Herrman census. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/19).
