Description
1829 Small Letters Half Dollar, O-105, MS66
Among the Finest Known
1829 50C Small Letters MS66 NGC. O-105, R.1. This
available die pairing is attributed by the position of key stars on
the obverse, although the bolder-struck left-side stars are
typical. On the reverse, the denomination 50C is high, and the top
arrow shaft and the stand of the 5 are recut. This Premium Gem
example shows few signs of contact on either side, and the
appealing surfaces boast subtle bluish-gray color with glints of
gold and pink. The strike is well-executed on both sides save for
the obverse stars as mentioned, and minor softness on the
denomination. This piece is certainly among the finest known of the
variety, tied in grade (and with better eye appeal, in our opinion)
with the Eliasberg-Kaufman MS66 NGC coin that brought $9,775 in our
Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2009), lot 2442, the top
piece listed in our most recent Stephen Herrman reference. Census:
for all 1829 varieties, 11 in 66, 1 in 66 ★ , 0 finer
