Description

Possible Finest Known 1826 O-105
Bust Half Dollar, MS66

1826 50C MS66 NGC. O-105, R.3. This coin may be the finest 1826 O-105 half dollar extant. This obviously important representative is identifiable by a well concealed obverse spot over the bottom of the L in LIBERTY. The balance of the surfaces are untoned, although one can see suggestions of delicate lilac iridescence at a few angles. The reverse impression is expertly centered, and it has brought up bold, if not sharp detail over all features. The obverse is also well produced, although we note that the denticles are broader at the upper border than they are at the lower. There is a little bit of haziness over the bottom of the obverse, but we are unable to locate a single distracting or mentionable abrasion. The obverse die crack (as struck) that connects stars 1-7 to the rim before the end of Liberty's bust is diagnostic of this variety. A coin that is earmarked for inclusion in an advanced collection of Capped Bust halves.
