Important 1827 O-143 Half, MS64

1827 50C Square Base 2 MS64 PCGS. CAC. O-143, R.3. The Dotted Beak variety has a small die dot in the field just above the eagle's beak, and this feature is common to O-143 and O-148, both using the same reverse die. This example is finer than any reported in the current edition of Stephen Herrman's auction survey, although two finer grade pieces appear in Donald Parsley's fourth edition of Overton.
The surfaces of this sharply defined piece have soft, frosty silver luster with delicate gold, blue, and iridescent toning. Both sides are finely detailed despite the late die state. A few die bulges on the obverse are barely visible.(Registry values: N2998)
