1820/19 O-101a Half Dollar, MS64
Square Base 2 Overdate, CAC

1820/19 50C Square Base 2, O-101a, R.3, MS64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Friend. The lower loop of 9 beneath the primary 0 is incomplete, accounting for the late die state O-101a designation by PCGS. The stars are minimally drawn to the edge, while a sharp strike provides pinpoint definition on all but the a few curls. Attractive peach-gold toning enhances the lustrous margins of this near-Gem example, surrounding bluish-gray and deep lavender centers.

The 1820 issue is well-known for its two "naked eye" overdates -- one with a small, Square Base 2 and the other with a Curl Base 2. This is the Square Base variant, with the underdigits boldly visible. Smooth surfaces show only a few tiny marks and display strong eye appeal throughout the colorfully toned surfaces. CAC endorsement confirms the Choice Uncirculated quality. MS64 coin occupy the fourth through sixth spots in the Condition Census for the Square Base 2 overdate variety. Population: 5 in 64, 2 finer. CAC: 2 in 64, 1 finer (11/19).
