Description

1831 50C AU55 PCGS. O-115, R.4. The obverse die also appeared on O-113 and 114, with a small die defect mark above the drapery clasp. The middle line of the third shield stripe extends below the border. The reverse was also used for O-101.
This piece has a flowlined obverse with stars drawn to the edge. A bulge appears in front of the neck, below Liberty's chin. The reverse is also lightly flowlined.
A Choice AU example, the Frederick coin has lovely gold, violet, and blue toning on both sides, with considerable underlying luster. A few minor handling marks are evident, consistent with the grade. This piece is seemingly tied for sixth place in the Condition Census.
