1818/7 50C Small 8 AU55+ 认证号31722127, PCGS号6114

O.102, R2. Here's a very special CBH, ex-Dick Graham, ex-Tom Palmer. Not only is it a desirable overdate and the unique marriage of the small 8. It is also an EDS and well struck to boot! The 1818 overdates were generally weak-to-good strikes. The small 8 was made from a new lowered-relief hub and generally appears weaker in the center. Yet this example is relatively strong in the center (curls and clasp are well defined) and comes from an early die. Note the complete dentils and well formed stars. Note too the absence of the filled upper loop of the second 8 which happened when a die chip broke off. The reverse is equally early and well defined. Top it all off with sunburst colors of orange and coral, and flashy blue rims with mark-free surfaces. Full, rolling luster on the reverse with just the slightest break on the obverse.

"Large" refers to the first 8 of the date.  If you do not have another coin for comparison, here's a quick attribution guide: on the Small 8 variety, the first 8 is a script 8 (center bar of 8 is slanted downward to the right); on the Large 8 variety, the first 8 is a block 8 (center bar of 8 is flat).
