Proof Bust Half Dollars
1827 50C PR62 NGC. O-121, High R.7 as a proof. The recut A in STATES confirms the variety. A single proof example of O-107 is recorded in the literature, along with five different examples of O-121, including the present specimen, which was only discovered recently. The other four carry higher numerical grades, so the present piece is the most affordable proof 1827 half dollar. A roster of the other proofs is available at lot 5633 of our January 2013 FUN Signature sale. The crisp strike is sufficient to eliminate any doubt about the proof status of this example. Both sides have faintly mirrored fields with myriad hairlines that limit the grade. Light blue and delicate gold peripheral toning frames the devices. This coin was obtained by a European noble while visiting this country in the middle 19th century and retained by the same family until resent times. Census: 1 in 62, 1 finer (3/17).
