1806/5 Half Dollar, XF45, O-104b, Possible Finest Known

1806/5 50C O-104b, R.5 XF45 NGC. Attributed as O-104b on the NGC holder, although this coin might more accurately be characterized as an intermediate die state between O-104a and O-104b. The cud over UN is obvious, as is the advanced die break on the obverse, but no cud has yet developed over ITE. Desirable for its combination of quality and advanced die state in any event, and very possibly the finest known in such an advanced state, bettering every O-104b coin listed in Herrman and indeed finer than every listed O-104a specimen except for the earlier die state AU55 example we offered earlier this year at FUN. Lightly worn, with an area of weak strike below O on the reverse. A good deal of luster is visible in recessed areas.
