Description
Formidable Gem 1828 Half Dollar
Perhaps Finest Known O-108
Square Base 2, Large 8
1828 50C Square Base 2, Large 8 MS65 NGC. O-108, R.3. One of
only two Overton varieties with both a Square Base 2 and Large 8s
in the date. The other marriage, O-109, is also listed as R.3 but
is decidedly more available in high grade, per Stephen J. Herrman's
spring 2010 edition of auction records. In fact, the present MS65
would rank #1 on Herrman's list for O-108, ahead of two MS64
examples. In addition, this half dollar is housed in a former
generation (early to mid-1990s) NGC holder. Thoroughly lustrous and
splendidly unabraded with a sharp strike, aside from minor
inexactness on the occasional star center.From The R.K. Banister Collection.
