Description
Very Rare O-137 'Extra Feathers'
1827 Square Base 2 Half Dollar, VF30
1827 50C Square Base 2 VF30 PCGS. O-137, R.6. Ex: Witham.
O-137 is also known as the Extra Feathers reverse. The "feathers"
emerge from the right (facing) wing near the RI in AMERICA, and
were likely caused by die damage similar to that seen on the Spiked
Chin 1804 half cent. While the O-137 is distinctive, its value is
due to its rarity, which exceeds that of the Starred Reverse 1794
cent or the 1802 half dime. Of course Jules Reiver had one, an XF45
NGC that brought $13,800 in our January 2006 auction of his
extensive die variety collection. The present piece displays
slightly more wear on the wings, but ample hair and plumage detail
remains. In addition, the cream-gray surfaces lack consequential
marks or other distractions.From The Witham Collection of Capped Bust Half Dollars.(Registry values: N208)
