Bust Half Dollars
1808/7 50C O-101, R.1, MS65 NGC. Peripheral die cracks on both sides are usual for this die combination. Parsley states that the die cracks are "usually visible." The 1808 overdate half dollar is a readily available variety, but examples are extremely difficult to locate in Choice or Gem grades. NGC has seen four MS65 1808/7 half dollars, including the coin offered here, while PCGS reports one submission in the same grade and a single finer piece: the Pogue coin in MS66 that recently realized $49,937.50 in September 2015. The obverse has frosty surfaces with lighter-hued centers surrounded by shades of blatantly original gold, magenta, and cobalt-blue patina. Mixed violet-gray and blue tones intermingle over the entirety of the reverse. Boldly rendered with great eye appeal. Truly among the finest 1808/7 representatives out there.
From The Soluna Collection.
