Description
Census Level 1827 O-138 Half, MS62
1827 50C Square Base 2 MS62 PCGS. O-138, R.4. The 2 in the date has a heavy base on this obverse that is shared with O-139. Faint vertical lines are visible above the top of the cap. The reverse has a doubled stem tip, and also has mostly solid vertical stripes.There are no die cracks, and only faint clash marks on the reverse. Both sides have peripheral flowlines, those on the reverse distorting the tops of some letters.
An exceptional Mint State example of this scarce variety with frosty silver luster on both sides. Splashes of faint gold toning are evident upon close inspection, but this beauty has essentially full silver brilliance. A Census level example, the Frederick specimen ranks as the third or fourth finest known.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
