1819/8 Large 9 O-104a Half Dollar
MS62, R.6 Late Die State

1819/8 50C Large 9 MS62 NGC. O-104a, R.6. Stars 2 and 4 are recut, and the reverse shows missing upper serifs on the E's. In this die state the reverse shows several die cracks: one from the lower rim beneath the 0 and up through the C in the denomination, the arrowheads, arcing around to join the scroll and end at the upper rim in TAT. A second arc runs through the lower claws, fletchings, and olive leaves. Another arcs up through UN to the left scroll end. A couple of smaller cracks appear, seemingly a die on the verge of shattering. This is a lovely, lustrous piece with amber-gray toning and a few ticks on Liberty that account for the grade. "Ear bar" clashes appear from the reverse die. This piece appears considerably finer than any of the pieces listed in Stephen Herrman's auction prices realized, where he notes that the late die state is R.6.
