1814/3 50C XF45 认证号19306360, PCGS号6106

Paradime says: Gold CAC, Bust Half, Attractive toning and an important 1814/3 overdate make this coin the definition of having all the bells and whistle. Halloween-orange fills the coin perfectly evenly on both surrounding the devices creating a halo-like effect as attractive sea-green peak between the date. Significant luster is present whilst character defining clash marks are seen. Some strike weakness is noted on the reverse feather as well as some toning on the high point, all of which are commonly seen on 1814/3 and was likely confused for wear. We grade this AU55. No doubt a must have and you will not be disappointed.

The 1814/3 Overdate Half Dollar is a very popular issue and has been a significant part of the Bust Half Dollar series for decades.  The overdate is very clear, consisting of the top bar of the 3 beneath the 4.  This was done to save money by repurposing an old die instead of casting it aside and creeating a whole new one in the following year.  

The 1814/3 Half Dollar comes in one variety with two distinct die states (O-101 and O-101a).  There is no such thing as a perfect die 1814/3 Half Dollar, as they all show some degree of die-cracking and clashing.  On the O-101a, the cracking becomes more evident and affects the bottom of the date.  On the reverse, the die begins to take on a dished appearance and the denticles begin to merge with the tops of the letters of the legends.

There are at least a dozen Mint State examples of the 1814/3 Half Dollar.  Most are them grade MS64 or lower.  The finest example is a single NGC MS66 that sold for $48,875 in a 2010 auction.
