Description
1812 Large 8 Half, O-105a, MS63
Near-Shattered Obverse Die
1812 50C Large 8, O-105a, R.2, MS63 PCGS. The obverse die is
virtually shattered, with a wedge-shaped portion -- created by a
die crack rising from the rim through the 2 in the date, a second
crack meeting it above, running to the 1 and on through the 8,
where a lump fills the lower 8, this latter crack running in the
other direction to bisect the obverse before meeting other cracks
-- seemingly ready to fall out of the die. Extensive die fatigue
draws all star points toward the rim. This piece shows moderate
luster on sandy-brown surfaces with silvery centers and occasional
charcoal accents in the shield on the reverse. The reverse details
are weaker than the obverse, which show bold details in the center.
Certified in a green-label holder.Ex: Private purchase from David Lawrence via Sheridan Downey (4/1990).
