Description

Wonderfully Patinated Condition Census
1814/3 Half, O-101a, MS65

1814/3 50C MS65 NGC. O-101a, R.2. This is a popular overdate variety among early Bust halves, one in which the underlying 3 in the date, as here, is clear even in late states of the obverse die. The present piece shows considerable die wear, with most of the lower obverse stars drawn toward the rims. The late-state crack through the date digits that characterizes O-101a is bold. On the reverse, that die appears close to shattering. The die crack running from near the left wing tip through UNITED and to the first A breaks into two pieces at that point, presaging worse to come. Both sides show myriad die cracks and clashes.
This wonderful Gem offers marvelous patina in shades of lilac and lavender on both sides, complementing bold luster and a sharp strike. In MS65 this piece (undesignated for the late die state) is one of three 1814/3 examples so graded at NGC, and there is a single coin finer (7/08). There is also an O-101a graded MS66 at that service. At any rate, this piece appears to be solidly in the Condition Census.(Registry values: N4719)
