Description

Very Rare Late State 1818 O-104b Half, MS62

1818 50C MS62 PCGS. O-104b, R.6 in the late state. The obverse die is shattered as described in Overton for State a, with additional cracks that are unlisted. The die crack above star 7 is extremely heavy, joining the cap in a small lump and continuing through the headband. Another crack joins all of the stars on the right, beginning above star 8 and continuing to star 13. Steve Herrman lists this late die state as O-104b in his record, and proposes that it is R.6 in the late state.
This splendid Mint State piece has frosty silver luster beneath light ivory at the centers, with deep steel peripheral toning. The Frederick Collection coin has exceptional eye appeal for the grade.
Edge 39: FIFTY CENTHSALF A DOLLAR.
