1826 O-104 Bust Half, MS66
Intermediate Die State
Frosted Champagne Luster

1826 50C O-104, R.3, MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: O'Neal. This highly attractive Premium Gem is an intermediate die state between O-104 and O-104a, with a reverse die crack beneath the denomination and arrowheads, but there is no evidence of the other reverse die crack through the base of ERICA. Apparently examples with the single reverse crack, which must be designated as O-104, are plentiful, while those with both cracks can be called O-104a, and they are scarce. This delightful example has frosty champagne luster across brilliant silver surfaces with splashes of gold and blue peripheral toning. For the O-104 variety, this is essentially tied for first in Stephen Herrman's Spring 2022 census revision, along with an NGC★ example without a CAC seal.
