1820/19 50C Curl Base 2 MS (PCGS#6126)

Summer 2025 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Description du lot: Die State 102.1. Warmly toned in blended lilac and olive-gray, this wonderfully original example also reveals iridescent gold, pink and cobalt blue undertones as the surfaces dip into a light. Both sides are boldly to sharply struck with a smooth, lustrous appearance at the Choice AU level of preservation. A bold and popular overdate, the remnants of the 19 underdigits are readily evident beneath the primary digits 20. The 1820/19 O-102 is available in an absolute sense with a number of Mint State and Choice AU examples known, although demand far outstrips supply due to the combination of the early Capped Bust date and the aforementioned overdate feature. This is a particularly desirable coin that will appeal to variety specialists as well as proponents of originality.
