1810 O-103 Half Dollar, MS64
High Condition Census
Ex: Eliasberg-Link

1810 50C O-103, R.3, MS64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Eliasberg-Link. Star 12 is recut at its lowest inside point -- just a tiny triangular raised element, best seen under magnification. On the reverse, die rust lumps gather to the left of C in the denomination. This near-Gem O-103 die marriage is a sharp and pleasing representative of the 1810 date. The coin is largely brilliant with an overlay of warm-gray toning on the high points and a sharp strike. A blurry die crack extends left and right beneath the date, while die erosion pulls the outer star points toward the rim. This Choice Uncirculated example carries an impressive pedigree and is tied for the finest O-103 at PCGS (7/24).
