Description
1829/7 Guide Book Variety, MS66+
Finest Known O-101a Half Dollar
1829/7 50C MS66+ NGC. CAC. O-101a, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R.
Green. This high-end Premium Gem displays iridescent shades of
dappled gold, green, and gunmetal blue. Magnificent frosty luster
underlies the toning. The central devices are nicely impressed,
especially so when we note that the reverse die was in its third
use. It appeared first on the rare (R.5) 1829 O-106, then on the
1829 O-107. In the later stages of its use on the 1829/7 O-101,
repeated polishing of the reverse die eradicated some of the
feathers below the shield and parts of the nearby arrow shafts,
yielding the O-101, a sub-variety offered here.The Kaufman 1829/7 received an MS66 designation from NGC but was struck from the O-102 die pair. We offered a PCGS MS66 1829/7 O-101 in our July 2008 Baltimore ANA Sale, lot 1685. It brought $32,200. The Newman 1829/7 O-101a appears to be the finest of that die state. It may well be the best of any known 1829/7.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
