Description
Census Level 1827 O-145 Half Dollar, AU53
1827 50C Square Base 2 AU53 PCGS. O-145, R.5. A short spine extends from the front of the bust as also seen on O-144. The reverse also appears on O-132. It has the tops of UN joined and the serif of the C in 50 C recut.This early die state piece provides evidence that O-145 was struck prior to O-132. Both dies are perfect with traces of rust below the lowest arrowhead.
A lovely example, the Frederick specimen has deep rainbow toning, combining gray-gold with blue, green, lilac, and rose. Considerable luster shines through the toning. The toning also masks the trivial grade-consistent handling marks. This example rests at the low end of the Condition Census for O-145.
