Description
1819/8 Large 9 Half Dollar, MS65+
Finest Known Guide Book Variety, O-106
1819/8 50C Large 9 MS65+ NGC. CAC. O-106, R.4. Ex: "Col."
E.H.R. Green. We believe this high-end Gem to be the finest known
example of the O-106. The sharply detailed design elements
complement the pristine fields. The boldly lustrous surfaces are
blanketed in a delightful blend of gold, lilac, gray, and rose
toning. Eye appeal is terrific and technical quality is
unsurpassed. The state of preservation is nothing short of
miraculous. Everything about this overdate signals originality.More than 2.2 million Capped Bust half dollars were struck in 1819, with 15 known die varieties. Six varieties are overdates, the largest number for any year in the series. Five of the 1819 overdates display a Large 9. There is one Small 9 overdate, O-101. The Large 9 O-106, offered here, is the scarcest of the group, with an R.4 rarity rating (80 to 200 known).

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
