Description
Historic PR63 1829 Half Dollar
The Unique O-111a Proof
1829 50C PR63 NGC. CAC. O-111a, Unique as a Proof. While
other die pairs are known for the 1829 half dollar as a proof,
including the O-107, O-108, and O-112, the O-111a has the unusual
distinction of being struck after many, if not all, of the
circulation-strike coins produced from its die pair. Both dies show
evidence of wear; the obverse stars are drawn toward the rims,
while the first and last letters of AMERICA are filled at the top.
Nonetheless, this is a no-questions proof with intense, slightly
flawed mirrors around softly frosted devices. Color is mostly gold
with blushes of rose and elements of blue at the margins.Ex: The Globus/Shulman Auction (Stack's, 12/1998), lot 1362; 71st Anniversary Sale (Stack's, 10/2006), lot 2755.
