Bust Half Dollars
1809 50C III Edge, O-107, R.3, MS61 PCGS. All Mint State 1809 halves are scarce and held in high regard by Bust half aficionados. On the O-107, the 1 in the date is positioned too far left in relation to the 809, and faint, incused segments are visible with a glass on the cap. The surfaces have a reflective, semiprooflike sheen and the strike is sharp except at stars 5 to 7 and the top fold of Liberty's cap. The reverse displays similar reflective fields with minor weakness at the top of 50 C., the eagle's right (facing) talons, and the branch stem. The wing detail and feathers are razor-sharp. Mottled shades of reddish-gold, blue, lilac, and olive-green combine with bright mint luster for a delightful, colorful patina. Population (all varieties): 6 in 61, 57 finer (10/16).
