1820 50C O-107, No Serifs on Es MS (PCGS#39571)

June 2021 U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-107. Rarity-5. No Serifs on Es. Fine-15 (PCGS). A pleasing and original example with mottle slate-grey in the fields and shades of apricot on the high points. Uniformly bold and evenly worn, the surfaces are overall smooth in-hand and with just a few minor marks beneath the scroll on the reverse. 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.
