Bust Half Dollars
1823 50C O-103, R.2, MS64 PCGS. CAC. A series of die lines over the eagle's left (facing) wing confirm the reverse die, while star 7 is high and close to the front of the cap on the O-103 variety. This splendid near-Gem example displays iridescent toning over smooth, semireflective surfaces. Shades of blue, sea-green, rose, and silver-gray cover both sides. The strike is sharp but not full, with minor incompleteness on several of the star centers and at the eagle's lowest extremities. The fields and devices are problem-free and attractive. CAC-endorsed. Only the Pittman/Pogue coin outranks this example in terms of numeric grade, as well as perhaps one other MS65 mentioned in the Parsley Census (65, 65, 64, 64, 64).
