Lovely 1827 Curl Base 2 O-147 Half, AU55

1827 50C Curl Base 2 AU55 PCGS. O-147, R.4. The obverse appears on O-146 and O-147, the only die with a curl base 2 in the date. The reverse has the final A and top arrowhead slightly separated.
The obverse has prominent flowlines that extend the date and stars to the border, with lighter reverse flowlines. The reverse also has faint clash marks, but neither die shows any cracks or other defects.
This splendid specimen from the Frederick Collection has ivory surfaces with traces of champagne toning. Both sides are fully lustrous with only a trace of high point wear. Although below the Census, this piece remains in high demand.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
