Not Sold Description
Scarce 1829 Half, MS66
Small Letters, O-108a
1829 50C Small Letters MS66 NGC. O-108a, R.3. The scarce
later die state with the final A of AMERICA filled at the top.
Paradoxically, the obverse die lines at the bust tip, which
Peterson describes as "early states only," remain visible. Die
state intrigues aside, this is a simply spectacular Premium Gem
example of a Capped Bust half. Both sides offer immense luster
beneath a wide range of colors, gold, rose, orange, and blue chief
among them. The reverse in particular has a striking concentric
effect to the toning, centered around a slightly hazy reddish core
that serves as a backdrop to a sharply struck eagle. For all Small
Letters varieties, Census: 12 in 66, 0 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24FS, PCGS# 6154, GSID# 6193)
