Not Sold Description
Spectacular 1822 Half Dollar
MS66, O-106, Early Die State
1822 50C MS66 NGC. O-106, R.3. This spectacular Capped Bust
half dollar gives us sufficient reason to call it one of the first
impressions with this die pair. The devices display razor-sharp, if
not full striking definition over nearly every feature. There are
also several die scratches (as produced) along the obverse rim
below star 13. Overton does not mention these scratches in his
book, so it is likely that they were polished away in middle and
later die states. In addition, the lower base of the second 2 in
the date is heavy and recut. This feature probably also faded with
subsequent impressions. There is a hairline-thin mark in the lower
obverse field before the date, but the balance of the surfaces are
all but abrasion-free, with a crisp, frosty sheen. A rich overlay
of crimson-copper and cobalt-blue toning rounds out this coin's
list of positive attributes. Census: 8 in 66, 1 finer
(6/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24FG, PCGS# 6129, GSID# 6170)
