Description
Scarce 1825 O-117 Half, AU55 Details
1825 50C Genuine PCGS. O-117, R.4. The upright of the 5 in the date is recut, a diagnostic feature of this variety. The reverse has a doubled olive branch between the claw and first leaf pair.Faint clash marks are visible on the reverse of this otherwise perfect dies piece.
AU55 Details, Altered Surfaces. Although cleaned with minor hairlines, there is no other obvious surface alteration on this lightly toned example.
Al Overton listed variety 35 as RARE in 1967, but in 1970 it carried an R.1 designation with the new number of O-117, leading Don Frederick to describe it as "way underrated by Overton." The third and fourth editions carry O-117 as R.4, its present rating.
1825 O-118 is not included in the Frederick Collection but is offered elsewhere in this sale.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
