Condition Census 1827 O-127 Half, XF45

1827 50C Square Base 2 XF45 PCGS. O-127, R.5. The second line of the fifth vertical shield stripe extends across four crossbars on this shared reverse that also appears on O-126. The obverse of O-127 usually has three ear bars, clashed from the shield.
Struck from lightly flowlined but otherwise perfect dies. The stars are drawn to the edge, and the obverse has partial border detail.
Natural medium gray surfaces provide a backdrop for peripheral gold toning on this attractive example. Both sides have the usual quota of trivial handling marks. Only three or four AU or finer examples are known, followed by a small number of XF45 coins including the Frederick specimen.
The 1827 O-127 is one of seven new die marriages that were unknown to Overton when the 1967 first edition was published. Five of the seven were discovered in the next few years, with just two new marriages since the 1970 second edition was published.
