Exquisite, Conditionally Unsurpassed 1829/7 Half
Overton-101, MS66

1829/7 50C MS66 PCGS. O-101, R.1. Electric-blue, russet-gold, and rose-gray colors alternate across both sides of this simply amazing, visually captivating Premium Gem. A sharply struck, satiny, and impeccably preserved coin. Among the finest-known examples of this popular Guide Book overdate variety. In fact, this is probably the single finest-known representative of Overton-101, based upon the pedigree information that has been supplied by our consignor. This data includes three labels from previous grading events: one from PCGS (MS66), and two from NGC (both as MS66 PL). Since PCGS lists two pieces in its Population at MS66, with NGC likewise listing two coins in its Census at MS66 PL, it would seem that the currently offered Premium Gem actually accounts for all four, representing the two finest-graded "coins" at each of the major services. With a combination of unsurpassed technical merit and visual quality, we believe that even the most discriminating specialist would be pleased to own this exquisite Capped Bust half dollar.(Registry values: N1)
