Description
1815/2 O-101a Half Dollar, XF40
Date Set Necessity, Sole Dies for Type
1815/2 50C O-101a, R.3, XF40 PCGS. Traces of remaining
silver luster intersperse with areas of powder-gray toning on this
crisply struck 1815/2 half. Struck from a late state of the dies,
several diagnostic cracks surround the reverse legends. Die
clashing appears on both sides in the O-101a die stage. This
example is attractive with sharp eye appeal for the XF40 level.
Bold definition remains on the obverse devices with only light rub
visible on Liberty's cheek, along with visible wear on the eagle's
head, neck, and left (facing) wing shoulder. Only three
denominations were struck dated 1815 at the Mint: quarters, half
dollars, and half eagles, of which only quarters and half dollars
are available to date collectors given the extreme rarity of the
half eagles.From The Hamilton Collection, Part IV.
