Bust Half Dollars
1826 50C O-106a, R.3, MS65 PCGS. Lightly toned at the centers with colorful blue, rose, and gold hues at the borders, this satin-smooth Gem Uncirculated half exudes mint luster and eye appeal. The strike is sharp for the late state of the dies, which display peripheral die cracks through the reverse legend including a diagnostic crack at RICA of AMERICA, through the arrowheads, through C, and to the rim below 50. An attractive example, this piece ranks second in the Condition Census only to the Eliasberg coin for the late die state O-106a, according to Stephen Herrman's Autumn, 2016 listing.
