Bust Half Dollars
1813 50C O-109, R.3, AU55 PCGS. Narrow and incomplete milling characterizes the O-109 variety, with lapping of the dies that eventually creates the late die state Single Leaf O-109a. This example still retains a ghost of the second olive leaf in the topmost pair. All of the outer devices (stars and legends) are drawn to the edge with some strike weakness as always seen for the die pair. Attractive gunmetal-blue and rose toning imbues the Choice, richly toned surfaces.
