Description

Condition Census 1827 O-133 Half, MS62

1827 50C Square Base 2 MS62 PCGS. O-134, R.4. The obverse die was also used for O-104. Star 13 nearly touches the curl, and faint die lines connect the border to bust tip. The reverse was also used for O-133 and has the die line described there.
A small crack or die defect connects the 5 in 50 C to the lowest olive leaf. Otherwise, the dies are perfect.
A minor planchet crack is visible at 12:30 on the obverse and 5:30 on the reverse. This lovely piece has full ivory luster with frosty surfaces. Light iridescent toning appears along the borders. This piece fits within the Condition Census that begins with two MS63 coins and a small number of MS62 examples like the Frederick specimen. Here is a great opportunity for the specialist.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
