Description

1827 O-121 Half Dollar, PR62
Previously Unrecorded Specimen
From European Nobility

1827 50C PR62 NGC. O-121, High R.7 as a Proof. The recut A in STATES confirms the variety. A single proof example of O-107 is recorded in the literature, along with five different examples of O-121, including the present specimen. The other four carry higher numerical grades, so the present piece is the most affordable proof 1827 half dollar, and it is a previously unrecorded specimen. A roster of the other proofs is available at lot 5633 of our January 2013 FUN Signature sale. The crisp strike is sufficient to eliminate any doubt about the proof status of this example. Both sides have faintly mirrored fields with myriad hairlines that limit the grade. Light blue and delicate gold peripheral toning frames the devices.
Obtained by a European noble while visiting this country in the middle 19th century and retained by the same family until the present time.
From The Noblesse Collection.
