1827 50C Curl Base 2 AU53 认证号82490546, PCGS号6145

Ron Guth

1827 Half Dollars have the third highest mintage of the entire series, exceeded only by 1834 and 1836.  However, they also contain some interesting varieties, including a 7 over 6 overdate and dates which feature either a curled base 2 or a flat base 2.  The Curl Base 2 is the least common of the major varieties and much less common than the Square Base 2.  Mint State examples are rare and typically range from MS-62 to MS-64.  The finest examples certified by PCGS include 2 MS-65s (according to the March 2012 Population Report).
