Description

Rarity-6 O-104a 1817 Half Dollar

1817 50C Genuine PCGS. O-104a, R.6. Ex: Witham. The PCGS number ending in .91 suggests Questionable Color as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned. A partly lustrous example of this very rare Overton marriage, which is identified by its prominent arc-shaped obverse die cracks. The centers display rich orange-gold, while the margins exhibit glimpses of lavender. Mostly free from abrasions, although a few faint marks are clustered on the reverse field near the beak. The strike is crisp except for the right (facing) wing and the opposite neck curls.
