Lustrous 1829 O-117 Half Dollar, MS64

1829 50C Small Letters MS64 PCGS. O-117, R.2. A curious but distinctive way to attribute the obverse of this variety is that all four of the diagnostic stars point between dentils. The obverse is shared with a scarcer reverse on O-116, the present reverse being most easily attributed by the stubby top of the 5 and partial filling on A2. This near-Gem is surely one of the finest known of this common variety. The surfaces are highly lustrous with the obverse overlain with a rose colored center and a wide band of thalo-blue patina around the outer reaches of that side. The reverse is mostly brilliant with a slight golden accent at the rim. Sharply struck in most areas.
