Description
Condition Census 1809 O-112 Half, AU53
1809 50C Normal Edge AU53 PCGS. O-112, Low R.5. The upright of the E on the scroll is below the extreme left serif of the D in UNITED, and that is diagnostic for the O-112 die marriage.Small die lumps below the M and E in AMERICA appear to be constant on all known examples of this die marriage.
Pale heather and gray at the centers give way to beautiful emerald-green and gold toning closer to the borders. The strike is typically weak, especially at the left wing. This example is undoubtedly a Condition Census representative. Few high grade pieces have been offered recently, and the finest known is just AU58. According to Stephen Herrman's records, only the most recent previous appearance of an AU example was a decade ago in August 2000.
