Description
Elusive 1815/2 Half Dollar
Near-Mint State, O-101a
1815/2 50C AU58 NGC. O-101a, R.3. The late-state-reverse die
cracks are on full display on this near-Mint State piece, basically
encircling the entire rim in each direction from 6 o'clock. The
usual die clashing on this variety is visible on the obverse.
Splashes of blue and purple compete with a silver-gold color scheme
on this coin, which shows no singular abrasions for the grade but
fairly diffuse luster. Nonetheless this piece is an in-demand
specimen as the only variety for the year; a meager 47,150 pieces
were coined, and none in the following year, 1816. The last AU58
example we know of, a PCGS example, sold in a Stack's auction a
couple of years ago for $14,950. An important opportunity for Bust
half collectors.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24F5, PCGS# 6108, Greysheet# 6234)
