Bust Half Dollars
1830 50C Large Letters, Small 0, O-114, R.5, MS63 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. The rare Overton-114 is the only 1830 die variety with a Large Letters reverse. It is a key to a Guide Book collection of Capped Bust halves. The present lot, pedigreed to the prestigious Reiver Collection, is the single finest certified example, as it has been for the past ten years. Both sides are richly patinated sea-green and rose-red. The surfaces are lustrous and show only incidental contact. The stars show softness, but the remainder of the strike is good. A significant opportunity for the advanced specialist.
Ex: Coin Galleries (8/1983), lot 1824; Jules Reiver Collection (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 23162, which realized $18,400.
