Description

Splendid 1829 O-108 Half Dollar, MS66
Possibly Second Finest in the Condition Census

1829 50C Small Letters MS66 NGC. O-108, R.3. The variety is fairly quickly spotted, due to a patch of diagonal die marks appearing between Liberty's bust and the rim at 7:30. The reverse die in this marriage has a recut flag atop the 5, which is somewhat higher than the 0 and tipped to the left. Most of the Overton marriages for this year are Small Letters, as distinguished from the O-110 Large Letters.
This piece is simply over the top in terms of eye appeal. The wonderful patina features sage, gold, and deep amber predominating throughout, with radiant cartwheel luster over well-struck surfaces. In MS66 this piece would appear to be second finest, at least among recent sales as enumerated in Stephen Herrman's auction reference.
