Bust Half Dollars
1818/7 50C Small 8, O-102a, R.2, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Three of the 15 1818 half dollar die pairings feature the 1818/7 overdate. Overton-101 and -103 have are Large 8 overdates, while O-102 is the sole Small 8 overdate variety. This high-end Choice example is the late die state variant, showing a die break in the upper loop of the second 8. The coin is sharply struck and vibrantly lustrous. The rims and stars are complete, and the central details are comparably well-defined. A dusting of champagne and aquamarine toning on each side adds to the visual appeal. Uncirculated examples of this variety are rarely offered in any grade. Population (O-102 and -102a): 3 in 64 (1 in 64+), 2 finer (6/17).
