1807 50C Bearded Goddess F15 认证号29860544, PCGS号39357

O.111b, R4. CAC. Catalog description (was NGC VF20 cert# 1981275-001): The 1807 Bearded Goddess best of all worlds for Bust half collectors. The design is the two-year Capped Bust type by John Reich, and the O-111b variety features the popular 50/20 reverse at the denomination, with the five struck over a partially effaced 2. But the main attraction is the dominant die crack most visible between Liberty's chin and chest. On high-grade, late die state coins the crack is visible from the headband, through the eye and face, and traveling downward across the bust to the left of the date. On moderately circulated coins such as the current example, the main break beneath the chin remains clear and dramatic. Gunmetal blue accents enhance the old-silver appeal of this smoothly worn bearded lady. A tiny planchet flaw between R and I of AMERICA on the reverse does not distract from the substantial appeal.

The 1807 Bearded Goddess Half Dollar is a very sought after variety as the so called beard underneath the chin of Miss Liberty is very dramatic and visible to the naked eye. This variety was the result of a die being overused to strike coins resulting in a large die crack in between Liberty's chin, which runs all the way down to the top of the 1 digit in the date.

The variety itself is very scare with very few examples known. This variety is unknown in Uncirculated grades at PCGS, with the finest example being graded AU55 and none being finer.
