Description

1817 50C AU55 PCGS. O-106, R.2. A heavy ridge from the top of the cap to the border above star 8 identifies this variety. The early die state before the reverse die was lapped. Both sides have light clash marks, and the reverse has the cracks that earlier appeared on O-105.
Light wear is evident on the high points of the obverse and reverse of this attractive and lustrous half dollar. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are free of any significant distractions. Both sides have delicate champagne toning.
