Attractive 1829 Small Letters Fifty Cent
O-105, MS66

1829 50C Small Letters MS66 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg/Kaufman. O-105, R.1. The recut upper arrow shaft is characteristic of early die states of Overton-105, the I in PLURIBUS is entirely right of the stand of the second T in STATES, and TAT of STATES progresses downward, the first T considerably above the first S and the A, while the second T is below the A.
This sharply struck Premium Gem displays the design elements nicely centered on the planchet. Light bluish-gray dominates both sides, accented with golden-orange, purple, and ice-blue. Partially prooflike fields highlight the motifs at certain angles. A few minuscule grade-consistent marks do not detract in the least from the coin's pleasing eye appeal.
