1828 50C O-122 Sq Base 2, Sm 8s, Lg Lt MS64 认证号47142111, PCGS号39778

The 1828 Overton 122 Half Dollar is slightly scarce, but not so much that is becomes excessively priced.  On this variety, the base of the 2 is flat (squared) as opposed to curled; the 8's of the date are small; and the letters in the legends on the reverse are large.

Mint State examples of this variety are very rare, with only a handful known.  The finest example is a single PCGS MS66 -- a colorful coin with amazing eye appeal (see above).
