1813 50C O-106a MS (PCGS#39466)

The Regency Auction 47

Lot Description: Ex Link as noted on the insert. A Condition Census O-106a, and an example from the famed Link Collection, this VERY CHOICE example has a bold eye appeal. A radiant luster beams vividly all over on both sides, the satiny fields glow warmly from below a wonderful dusting of antique silver-gold that deepens to a narrow band of teal-blue at the extreme periphery. Somewhat uneven in strike, there are areas of softness, such as on Liberty's breast and on the ribbon, eliminating the E P of E PLURIBUS UNUM. The star centers are missing as well, their points all drawn to the edge. However, the central devices are very sharply struck from clashed dies. The edge die was not centered when the edge lettering was applied, leaving a series of bumps near 9:00 on the obverse. The eye appeal is excellent. Ex Dr. Charles Link Collection; our consignor, via private sale. PCGS 20, NGC 21. Another MS64 O-106a sold in the August 2018, from the Dale Friend Collection, for $9,000 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $7,500. RARE finer with fewer than a dozen graded higher at PCGS. A fabulous type coin! WOW. Cert. Number 25224536 PCGS # 6103.00
