1815/2 Half Dollar, Rose-Gray XF45
Key Date With Bold Eye Appeal and CAC

1815/2 50C O-101a, R.3, XF45 PCGS. CAC. The later state of the 1815/2 reverse die is identified by the numerous die cracks appearing near the rims and connecting many of the devices. Some clashing from the obverse appears as well. This key date consisted of 47,150 pieces, all struck from the single O-101 die pair. This Choice XF example is certified in an old small-size PCGS holder. Bright luster complements the silver-rose surfaces, imparting bold eye appeal and eminent collectibility. This piece was described in the Chalkley Collection as being "especially well struck in the centers," which we agree with. Needless to say, this is a coin that many Bust half nuts would love to add to their collections. For the 1815/2, CAC: 13 in 45, 21 finer (7/16).
