Description
Remarkable 1821 O-105a Half Dollar, MS66
1821 50C MS66 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. O-105a, R.1. An incredible Premium Gem from the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, this piece has a fully prooflike obverse and a frosty, lustrous reverse. Both sides have splendid original reddish-gold toning with splashes of blue, green, and russet iridescence, primarily near the borders. This piece is arguably one of the finest, if not the finest known example of the variety. Census: 5 in 66, 0 finer (3/09), the data for all seven varieties of the date combined. The current sale has a small number of spectacular early half dollars pedigreed to the Eliasberg Collection, giving younger collectors a feel for the remarkable offering in 1997, when nearly 250 similar-quality pieces were sold in just a couple of hours on the evening of April 7.From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
