1820 O-103a Half Dollar, Scarce MS62
Small Date, Curl Base 2

1820 50C Curl Base 2, Small Date, O-103a, R.2, MS62 PCGS. A sharp die crack runs from the edge near star 11 to the top of 1 in the date to define the late die stage O-103a. The die marriage is the only 1820 variety with a non-overdated Small Date and a Curl Base 2. This lustrous, lilac-gray example displays pale-gold at the border. The coin is sharply struck and lightly toned throughout both sides. A number of small, deep-gray spots and build-up are scattered across the portrait and a few of the obverse stars. The O-103 variety is quite scarce in Uncirculated grades, in both its early and later die states. This O-103a is tied at the low end of the Condition Census (12/19).
