Bust Half Dollars
1820 50C Curl Base 2, Small Date, O-103, R.1, MS62 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. The 2 in the date is much smaller than the other digits, and the D in UNITED sits low with its base well below the E in UNITED. This example is uncommonly lustrous for the grade with sharp striking details throughout. Scattered golden-brown toning on the obverse joins even and pale coloration on the reverse, with considerable underlying brightness on both sides. Numerically tied for third in the Condition Census according to Parsley, and tied for second as an O-103 in the Autumn, 2016 Stephen Herrman listing (12/16).
Ex: George Ramont (12/20/1983); The Jules Reiver Collection Signature Auction (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 22815.
