Description

Popular 1827/6 O-103 Half, AU53

1827/6 50C AU53 PCGS. O-103, R.4. A single 1827/6 overdate obverse die was mated to three different reverse dies. The O-103 reverse has the upright and ball of the 5 recut.
Now in its third use, the obverse die has peripheral flow lines with the stars drawn to the border. No border dentils are visible. Light clash marks are evident on the reverse.
Satiny silver-gray surfaces exhibit nearly full luster with hints of peripheral gold and iridescent toning. Although below the Census that consists entirely of Mint State pieces, this attractive AU example will certainly find an intrigued specialist or two. The Reiver Collection had an AU50, and the Logan Collection was missing this variety due to a misattribution. All three varieties of the 1827/6 overdate are in demand from Guide Book collectors as well as variety specialists.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
