Delectable 1830 O-104 Half Dollar, MS66

1830 50C Small 0 MS66 PCGS. O-104, R.3. The 3 in the date is slightly low in comparison with the other digits. The first line in stripe 6 extends to the second crossbar, and the 0 in the denomination is much larger than the 5.
The present example offers the kind of knockout eye appeal seldom seen on Bust halves. The cartwheel luster that this coin offers is more frequently seen on superb Morgan dollars. The luster is brilliant on both sides, but tempered slightly by light amber-gold patination, heavier at the obverse border and the right side of the reverse. The strike is bold, save for some peripheral stars, the first S in STATES, and the PL below. Liberty's hair is boldly and superbly detailed, and the strike on the devices in the central reverse is distraction-free. Die erosion on the obverse blends some star points with the rim. This is a rare opportunity for the Bust half specialist to obtain this delectable example of what is undoubtedly one of the finest known of this variety. Population: 4 in 66, 1 finer (3/09).
