Description
1828 Curl Base 2, Knob Half Dollar
O-107, MS63
1828 50C Curl Base 2, Knob MS63 NGC. O-107, R.2. Ex: "Col."
E.H.R. Green. A second offering of this coveted Guide Book
variety. This R.2 die pair routinely brings a 50% to 100% premium
over other "common" die varieties of the year. The 1828 Curl Base,
Knob 2 is a Guide Book variety represented by only two of
twenty-three die pairs identified by Overton. The other, 1828
O-106, is a high level R.4, rarely encountered in higher grades.
The Newman O-107, therefore, is just what the doctor ordered for
both Guide Book and die variety collectors. The coin
exhibits vibrant mint luster, shining through dappled shades of
golden-brown and lavender-gray toning. The luster is deep and
undisturbed.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $7.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
