Description

Marvelous 1814/3 Bust Half, O-101a
MS66, Finest Certified

1814/3 50C MS66 NGC. Ex: Kaufman. O-101a, R.2. The base of the underdigit 3 is prominent beneath the overpunched 4, while the reverse is easily attributed by the extra-large double denticles above the last T in STATES. In this advanced state for the reverse die a crack appears near the left (facing) wingtip, running at or near the bases of UNITED ST and then turning upward to join the top of (ST)A. On the obverse a prominent crack runs beneath the date digits to encircle nearly the entire side.
This is a marvelous example of this popular Bust half variety. Radiant luster emanates from the surfaces that alternate silver-white and powder-gray, accented with dollops of pastel blue. As expected of the grade, there are no singular contact marks or other post-strike distractions. The strike is meticulous throughout. Considerable old die clashing shows on both sides. This single MS66 coin tops the certified population at NGC and PCGS and is finer than the finest examples, three MS65 NGC coins, in Stephen Herrman's Bust half auction reference.
Ex: Dr. Juan XII Suros Collection (Superior, 2/1999), lot 175.(Registry values: N1)
