Terminal Die State 1807 O-109'b' Half Dollar, Fine 15

1807 50C Draped Bust Fine 15 PCGS. O-109a, R.3. A late state of the obverse, and justifiably deserves to be labeled "O-109b." In fact, that is exactly how it is recorded in Herrman's record of the series. The obverse crack of O-109a now has chips between the outer points of stars 2 and 4, easily visible without magnification.
Probably finer than it is graded, with traces of luster still visible in the protected areas. The usual blunt strike has allowed light wear to result in nearly flat devices. Attractive peripheral iridescence adds to the overall appearance.
There is no accurate Census of this die state available, but Steve Herrman seems to think that only about 10 pieces might exist. He records a single XF40 as the only auction appearance. Once this coin is sold, a valuable addition to auction records will be available.
