Bust Half Dollars
1811 50C Small 8, O-105a, R.2, MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Friend. The variety is easier to diagnose from the reverse die, where a small patch of die lumps are evident on the upper left portion of the eagle's shield. This later die state is more common than the early state and features a broad, arcing die crack that begins and ends at 5 on the lower reverse, passing through TES in STATES along the way. This is a well-struck, lustrous near-Gem example with clean, unabraded surfaces and lovely lavender-gold and blue-gray coloration. Population (all Small 8 varieties included): 37 in 64 (5 in 64+), 7 finer. CAC: 11 in 64, 10 finer (1/17).
