Description
1827/6 Half Dollar, Extra-Sharp MS66
O-102, Lustrous Late Die Stage
1827/6 50C O-102, R.1, MS66 NGC. The strike is notably sharp
for the late die state of this lustrous and attractive Overton-102
example of the overdate. The short bottom curve of an underdigit 6
extends from the stand of 7. On the reverse, the so-called
apostrophe after the final A in AMERICA is little more than a
smudge, but present, to confirm the variety. O-102 is the
most-available of three overdated die marriages among the 49
varieties that comprise the 1827 mintage of almost 5.5 million
pieces.From such large production, remarkably few Premium Gem or finer examples of the overdate exist. This example is essentially free of abrasions or marks, with razor-sharp definition on the hair curls, cap folds, and drapery lines. The stars are sharp but slightly drawn to the edge, a function of the late die stage. We note three tiny pinpricks of deep toning amid the caramel-gold and lilac-gray patina, but they are too small to be concerning. This coin is tied for second in the Condition Census behind the Eliasberg/Kaufman coin. Census (all overdate varieties): 3 in 66, 1 finer (10/17).
