Bust Half Dollars
1814 50C O-107, R.2, MS65+ PCGS. CAC. The frosty surfaces display a pleasing mix of pale reddish-gold and blue toning with strong cartwheel luster across both sides. Multiply die clashed on both sides with a remarkably sharp strike given the middle state of the dies, the O-107 is best-identified by a lumplike defect in the angle of N in UNITED.
The Gem Uncirculated grade with the Plus designation places the present coin solidly in the Condition Census for the variety according to the Autumn, 2016 Steve Herrman listing, trailing only the MS66 Eliasberg coin. Likewise, the Parsley reference cites a Census of 66, 65, 65, 62, 62 to confirm the second-finest stature of this frosty and original Gem. It ranks highly among all 1814 halves regardless of variety as the only MS65+ and CAC endorsement. Population (all 1814 varieties combined): 13 in 65 (1 in 65+), 6 finer. CAC: 9 in 65, 3 finer (11/16).
