1820 50C O-107, No Serifs on Es AU58+ 认证号83468658, PCGS号39571

O.107, R.5 From the Sept 2021 Legend Auction (H. Scharfman collection). Ex. Floyd Farley Collection; to Charlton (Swampy) Meyers circa 1996; Selected Rarities from the Meyer Collection, Sheridan Downey Mail Bid, July 2008, lot 32 (as NGC AU58); Dr. Charles Link Collection; sold via private treaty to Keith Davignon April 2010; private treaty sale to Dr. Charles Link (as PCGS AU58), March 2014; private treaty sale to our consignor, April 2017 Catalog description: An extremely difficult Rarity 5 die marriage, the O-107 is about on par with the 1812/1 Large 8 in terms of number known. Identifiable by broken A and E punches on the reverse, missing the serifs of both letters. This impressive, borderline Uncirculated example has one of the greatest pedigrees for the Capped Bust half dollar connoisseurs--it reads as a who's who of old time and recent Bust Half Nuts! Only the slightest hint of friction can be detected by a strong glass, indeed PCGS got it right grade wise. The underlying luster is bold, and while this coin may have been dipped ages ago, storage in an old Kraft envelope since that time has imparted a lovely pastel blue, gold, and rose tone. Generally very well struck up overall, we note just a touch of weakness at the tip of the bust. The eye appeal is sensational for this incredibly RARE variety. PCGS 1, NGC 0. This coin sold privately in 2017 for $46,500 and the Don Frederick AU58 sold privately in June 2020 for $56,000.
