Description
The 1833 O-115 Discovery Coin, Fine Details
1833 50C Genuine PCGS. O-115, High R.5. This die marriage combines the obverse of 1833 O-113 with the reverse of 1832 O-111 and 112. A short spine extends the small, triangular top of the 5 in 50C.This is Don Frederick's discovery coin for the variety. He reported the variety on June 27, 1972, according to his notes. Like all new varieties, the search for further examples began right away, and soon the rarity dropped to R.7 and to R.6. Sheridan Downey reported the existence of 26 pieces known to him in 1990. Today, about 30 to 35 pieces have been identified.
Fine 12 Details, Altered Surfaces. Both sides have deep steel and olive surfaces with slightly lighter color on the devices. Some surfaces residue is apparent on the obverse, with minor handling marks on both sides. Although finer quality pieces exist, the opportunity to acquire the historic discovery specimen of any variety is important to the specialist.
