1828 Half Dollar, O-119, MS65 PCGS
Square Base 2, Small 8, Small Letters
Ex: Green-Newman

1828 50C Square Base 2, Small 8, Small Letters MS65 PCGS. CAC. O-119, R.3. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green-Newman. Only this sole die pairing for 1828 shows the two attributes of Small 8 and Small Letters, much less the third Square Base 2 style, all of which are noted on the holder of this marvelous Gem coin that was offered last November in the Eric P. Newman Collection, Part II. Further identification of the O-119 die variety is provided by the reverse, which shows recutting on STATE, here visible without a loupe on the S, A (particularly), and E. Beautiful pink-champagne and ice-blue peripheral tinges complete for the viewer's attention with strong mint luster, a coin with maximal eye appeal. This coin was in the NGC holder as MS65 with CAC endorsement, and now has been crossed to MS65 PCGS with another CAC green bean.
