1817/3 50C MS (PCGS#6111)

The Regency Auction 27

Description du lot: A very scarce overdate, one of the most popular in the series, as it is so evident to the naked eye; seemingly the die sinker did not even attempt to efface the 3 from the die before punching the 7 in. While not rare, the O-101 is always in demand, but it is a rarity in Mint State. The present example is deeply, yet attractively toned. A gleaming luster glows from under the toning, providing a wonderful backlight and bringing the surfaces to life. The devices are sharply struck with full definition to Liberty's hair curls, stars, and eagle. Some very tiny ticks on the obverse blend in, and are not distracting in anyway, or take away from the grade. For a 62, the eye appeal is strong, especially since so many 17/3s we have seen in the past have been dipped out and flat. PCGS 2, NGC 6. The last PCGS MS62 sold in May 2001, so that APR is irrelevant in today's market. More recently a PCGS MS61 sold for $8,813 (March 2015) and we sold a PCGS MS63 in September 2016 for $27,025. This coin will sell in that range, and very likely for more than the $10,500 that Collector's Universe currently lists as the value. For any advanced Bust half collector, this coin will be a great addition to their cabinet! Good luck! Cert. Number 34933746 PCGS # 6111
