Bust Half Dollars
1829 50C Small Letters, O-111, R.2, MS65 PCGS. This early die state example shows recutting on the flag of the 5 in 50 C., and the A in STATES is recut. A few light abrasions are seen under a loupe but nothing out of line for the grade. The left-hand border stars show the only mentionable strike weakness. Vibrant cartwheel luster illuminates warm champagne toning on each side. Population (all varieties included): 36 in 65 (6 in 65+), 6 finer (6/17).
