Bust Half Dollars
1808 50C O-103, R.1, AU58 PCGS. The bases of A and M in AMERICA touch, a key pick-up point for Overton-103. The scroll ends below the left edge of the right-hand upright on M to confirm the reverse die. On the obverse, the 1 in the date is missing its bottom-left serif and 08 is closer than 180. Nearly full mint luster remains on this borderline Uncirculated half. Struck from worn dies, the stars are drawn to the edge and flow lines distort the letter tops of the reverse legend. The central motifs, in comparison, are sharply rendered. This is a lightly toned O-103 with strong eye appeal.
