Bust Half Dollars
1807 50C Capped Bust, Large Stars, O-114, R.3, XF45 PCGS. This is an exceptionally Choice XF example of the elusive O-114 die marriage, a Large Stars variety that avoids the bungled denomination seen on O-111 and O-112, and a die pair that is about equal in scarcity to the Small Stars O-113. Together, the four varieties comprise the entire mintage of John Reich's first-year Capped Bust design that is prized by specialists of the series. Ideal surfaces retain soft mint luster and display just a touch of smooth wear and no large marks. The eye appeal far exceeds the technical grade. Lovely golden-gray patina covers both sides. Population (for the variety): 13 in 45, 33 finer (6/17).
