Description
Rare Early State 1818 O-115 Half, AU53
Condition Census Participant
1818 50C AU53 PCGS. O-115, R.5. This is the only 1818
reverse that has the left sides of the second T in STATES and the I
in PLURIBUS aligned, and it appears on O-108 in earlier die states.
The date has the last 8 distant from the second 1, and the tops of
both 8s are closed. O-106 has open-top "pincher" 8s.The obverse has a crack from the border to the lower curl right of the date. This is the rarer early die state that is still rated R.5.
Although the strike is slightly weak, the surfaces return considerable luster with delicate gold peripheries around light silver-gray. This specimen is third or fourth finest known for the die marriage.
