Description

Late State 1819/8 O-103a Half, XF45

1819/8 50C Large 9 XF45 PCGS. O-103a, R.4. Six overdate varieties were produced from five different overdated obverse dies! Star 8 points to the upper half of a dentil.
The reverse die is shattered, or "fractured" as Don Frederick describes, with all of the State a cracks listed in Overton.
Although a few handling marks are evident on each side, this splendid half dollar has light gray on the devices with delicate gold, pale blue, and iridescent toning on both sides. Although the late die state is slightly more plentiful than the early state coins, both are scarce and highly desirable.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
