Description

1821 50C AU53 PCGS. O-103, R.2. This coin was included in the Frederick Collection as 1821 O-102, having been misattributed in the Stack's catalog. The serifs of all Es on the reverse are missing, a reuse of the reverse die that appears on 1820 O-107. It is interesting that the Guide Book lists the Broken Es variety for 1820, but leaves it out for 1821.
This early die state piece was minted prior to the reverse die lapping that removed some of the tail feathers and other details. Satiny luster is visible beneath champagne and gold toning on each side.
Ex: Stack's (1/2003), lot 2599.
