Description

1808/7 50C MS65 NGC. Ex: Kaufman. O-101, R.1. Peripheral die cracks on both sides are usual for this die combination. Parsley states that the die cracks are "usually visible." The 1808 overdate half dollar is a common variety that is virtually impossible to locate in Choice or Gem grades. In fact, there are no Gem quality pieces listed in Herrman's guide. NGC and PCGS each report two MS65 pieces with none finer, although those submissions almost certainly represent fewer actual coins. This piece is boldly details and has frosty silver luster with gold, russet, and light blue peripheral toning.
