Lustrous, Beautifully Toned 1826 Half, MS66
O-102

1826 50C MS66 NGC. O-102, R.1. This variety is identifiable by star 7 that points to the top edge of the headband, the tops of UN that nearly touch, and the final digit in the date that is markedly higher than the other three digits. This is a truly remarkable Bust half. It appears to be an early striking from this die pairing as the fields are unusually bright, as coins are from new dies. The striking definition is also uncommonly bold, and the surfaces are light in color in the centers with increasing golden-rose and blue color scattered around the margins. This appears to be the finest example known as the list of Finest Knowns by Stephen Herrman is 65/65 (4 pieces), 64/64 (2 pieces).(Registry values: N4719)
