Lot Description

1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-107. Rarity-5. No Serifs on Es. VF-35 (PCGS). Moderately and pleasingly toned with solid detail for the assigned grade, and even some faint traces of original luster peering from the more protected areas. The 1820 Overton-107 is a scarce and popular die marriage, readily attributable by the lack of serifs on the Es in the words UNITED, STATES and AMERICA in the legend. Though "only" considered a Rarity-5 variety with as many as 63 examples known, it is seldom offered at auction and most are held tightly in specialized collections. This one is sure to cause considerable excitement among specialists. PCGS# 39571. NGC ID: 24FD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
