Description
1823 O-101 Half Dollar, AU58
'Broken 3' Guide Book Variety
1823 50C Broken 3, O-101, R.3, AU58 PCGS. The Mint never
quite solved its problems with the 3 punch for the 1823 varieties,
although numerous fixes were made. The best solution seemed to be
"wait until 1824," although that year had date punch issues as
well. Three significant Guide Book varieties include the
Broken 3 (O-101), the Patched 3 (O-101a and O-102), and the Ugly 3
(O-110a). The Reworked 3 (O-109) may someday make the list as well.
As it is, the Broken 3 started it all, and this is an attractive
near-Mint example of the disjointed 3. Intense cobalt-blue and
aquamarine toning at the borders yields to peach-gold and silver
centers. Marks are few and the eye appeal is strong.From The Southeast Kansas Collection
