Bust Half Dollars
1818 50C O-111, R.1, MS63+ PCGS. CAC. Pick up points to for the variety include a small spike from Liberty's cap and the second 1 in the date that sits lower than the other digits. The MS67 we sold in 2002 represents the top of the Condition Census for the O-111 variety, yet this Select Uncirculated example holds its own in terms of strike, eye appeal, and surface quality while qualifying for the lower end of the Census. The obverse stars are razor-sharp. Peach-gold toning shines beneath mottled shades of aquamarine and coppery-tan patina.
