Description

Important 1830 Large Letters Half
O-114, VF20

1830 50C Large Letters VF20 PCGS. O-114, R.5. The obverse has a small chip inside the upper knob of the 3, seen on late states of O-113 and on all examples of O-114. The reverse is the Large Letters die, with the D in UNITED and the first S in STATES extremely close together. The reverse die was used earlier for 1828 O-122.
The 1830 Large Letters half dollar is a famous variety that has its own listing in the Guide Book, doubling its desirability. Perhaps 60 to 65 examples survive, although many are in higher grades.
The Frederick Collection specimen is a pleasing middle grade coin with dark iridescent toning on both sides. The surfaces have the usual handling marks that are expected for the grade. Here is an important opportunity for the specialist, the Guide Book collector, or the Set Registry collector.
