Bust Half Dollars
1829 50C Small Letters, O-105, R.1, MS66 NGC. The T-I alignment on the upper reverse is a convenient diagnostic tool since the I is shifted far to the right of other varieties of this year. Also, the early die state is confirmed by the recut upper arrow shaft that is clearly present, later states show lapping in this area. This is a satiny, high-grade example of the variety. The surfaces are well-matched on each side with rose-gray centers that deepen to emerald-green at the margins. Pinpoint strike details are noted on Liberty's hair curls as well as the eagle's plumage. This is the finest known, bettering the previous finest, an MS65, as listed on Stephen Herrman's Condition Census.
