1809 Half Dollar, O-111a, AU58
Pleasant Border Toning

1809 50C III Edge, O-111a, R.2, AU58 PCGS. A comma-shaped die mark just left of Liberty's lowest curl is a distinctive diagnostic of Overton-111a. The experimental III Edge is associated with the late die state, as are reverse die cracks at ED S ATE and alongside the final A in AMERICA. Interestingly, earlier die states have a Normal Edge. Dentils weaken along the mid-to-lower obverse border of this example, and the obverse stars are drawn to the edge. Light wear exists on Liberty's cap folds and high-point curls as well as the eagle's brow, but few other signs of circulation are present. Abrasions are at an absolute minimum. Attractive aquamarine and russet-gray toning covers both sides, while soft mint luster remains among the devices. The late die state is seldom seen finer, according to the latest Steve Herrman Condition Census (Spring 2019).
