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 small and well concealed spot
over the bottom of the L in LIBERTY. Lightly toned in caramel-gold
shades. 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. 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. The
profile is lightly strike doubled. A coin destined for inclusion
within an advanced collection of Capped Bust halves.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24FM, PCGS# 6143, GSID# 6182)
