Description
Finest Late State 1827 O-140a, AU58
1827 50C Square Base 2 AU58 PCGS. O-140a, R.5. Two faint diagonal die lines are visible between the 2 and the bust in earlier die states. The center line of stripe 3 extends to the fifth crossbar.State a calls for "severe die cracks" on the obverse. This piece has both of the described cracks, but they are hardly severe.
A sensational example with deeply toned surfaces. The central areas are grayish-violet, with peripheral gold and iridescent toning. Trivial surface marks are evident on each side.
The Frederick specimen is a Condition Census piece. The finest early die state is MS63, with two or three AU58 coins next. The finest of the late die state O-140a coins is AU58. This example is equal to the other AU58 coins, and it is tied for finest known of the late die state coins.
