The Eliasberg 1806 O-116 Half Dollar, MS63

1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem MS63 PCGS. O-116, R.3. Several high grade examples of the O-116 die combination exist, including this piece that probably ranks as fourth or fifth finest known, and highly desirable. This piece is from the famous collection of Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., one of many Eliasberg half dollars that we are delighted to present today, a full dozen years later.
This nicely centered specimen has attractive gray-brown and iridescent toning with blue, gold, and russet. Slight weakness is evident among the hair curls behind the head and on the wing feathers just left of the shield. The Eliasberg cataloger mentioned three old reverse scratches that are hidden in the devices and blended with the toning. For all practical purposes they are invisible and also consistent with the grade, and we only mention them because that is what the Eliasberg cataloger did. Population: 14 in 63, 17 finer (3/09), for all 1806 varieties.
