Description
Superlative 1819/8 Large 9 O-102 Half, MS65
1819/8 50C Large 9 MS65 PCGS. CAC. O-102, R.2. Incorrectly identified on the PCGS holder as a Small 9 variety. There must have been a surplus of obverse dies dated 1818 that remained unused when New Year's day came along. There are six different 1819/8 overdate half dollar varieties known from five different dies.This Gem is clearly from an old collection, with pale gray-brown patina and brilliant peripheral toning over satiny luster. Both sides are fully original, exactly what the connoisseur ordered. Only one finer piece has been auctioned recently, to the best of our knowledge. An MS66 appeared in the Juan Suros sale, and this MS65 along with another similarly graded piece are tied for second finest known.
