The Early American Silver Alternative Die State Set 的钱币相册
O.114 R3. Newman. CAC. "Large Stars Guide Book Variety. Tied for Finest Known O-114. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This coin is a stunning Gem, with brilliant silver centers surrounded by vivid rings of golden-brown and lavender toning. The remarkably well-preserved surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster throughout with few, if any, signs of handling or album storage. The strike is razor-sharp. An extensive network of die cracks is evident on the reverse and interesting clash marks are visible on both sides. Overall eye appeal is terrific. NGC has graded one other MS65, the Prouty Ex: Norweb and Pryor coin last offered in Superior's Hudson River Valley 3 sale, October 2000, lot 3273 where it brought a modest $24,150. That coin remains in the strong hands of the successful bidder. A PCGS MS65 1807 Large Stars was the super nova of our half dollar offerings in the Central States signature sale of April 2010. With a "look" comparable to the Newman coin it took $149,500 to bring it home! We will not be surprised to see a repeat of that bidding war when this piece comes to the floor. The Mint began the year with a small mintage of Draped Bust dollars, before switching to the new design. A modest mintage of 750,500 Capped Bust half dollars was accomplished in the later part of the year, the second smallest business-strike total for the series. Only four different die varieties are known for the date and type, including the Large Stars O-114 variety represented by the present coin. The O-114 variety is easily recognized by the small die lumps below the 7 in the date and overlapping lower arrowheads on the reverse. The Large Stars variety is listed on page 194 of the 2014 Guide Book. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P.

Per Heritage cataloger," Deeply Toned AU 1812/1 O-101 Half Dollar, Large 8 Variety. A very scarce and always-desirable variety among early Bust halves. This piece appears to be tied for second finest known with two other coins. This piece shows only the slightest trace of friction over the highpoints of the design. Otherwise, the surfaces are mostly charcoal-gray." "A rare opportunity for the advanced collector of Bust halves. Not only is this an important R.5 die marriage, but it is also a distinct variety listed in the Guide Book.

Finest known. CAC. Eliasberg/Clapp.Per StacksBowrers cataloger, " An intensely lustrous Gem with a bold array of golden toning ranging from bold champagne and a touch of fiery sunset orange on the obverse to a broader array of deep orange, crimson, and electric blue on the reverse. Struck about as boldly as you are apt to see for the date, and the frosty surfaces are visually immaculate, especially to the unassisted eye. The Coin Facts plate coin. The only MS-65 example of the variety certified by PCGS, with none graded finer by that firm. The known pedigree of this beautiful Gem half dollar stretches back more than a century, and evidently this particular coin has been lovingly cared for during that long time. Will you be the next steward of this remarkable numismatic delicacy? From the MHS Collection. Purchased from Mike Printz, July 2008. Earlier from S.H. and H. Chapman’s sale of the Harlan P. Smith Collection, May 1906; J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp; Clapp estate (1942), to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; and our (Bowers and Merena’s) sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, April 1997, lot 1801." StacksBowers Auction on 11/16/2011, Lot 2274.
O.101 R2 "The 4 in the date is sharply repunched over a 1 with the point of the 1 visible at the upper part of the diagonal. The high points of this lustrous example are extremely sharp beneath mottled orange-gold, violet, and sea-green toning. Popular Guide Book variety," per Heritage cataloger. Lot 3607. Heritage Summer FUN Auction on July 7, 2011. Upgraded from PCGS MS63 to MS64 on October 29, 2013.
Gardner. O.110a R2. Finest known. The 24 over 4 O-110 is one of five die marriages out of 17 for the year 1824 that are overdates. There are two 1824/1, the fairly available O-101 and the extremely scarce O-102 with only one mint state example (PCGS MS62 reported). The confusing jumble of numbers on the O-103 deemed 24 over various dates and two finally two 24 over 4 (the O-109 and O-110 with the former being slightly scarcer than the latter IMHO). Per Heritage cataloger of the Gardner Collection, "O-110a, beautiful patina. Recut 4 Over 4 MS65 NGC. O-110a, R.2. This interesting variety is actually an 1824/4, recut 4, and not an 1824/1 overdate as sometimes assumed. While this variety is not considered rare, Gem-quality pieces are nonetheless elusive. This beautifully preserved, highly lustrous Gem example displays soft green-gold and lavender-gray hues blended across the obverse, while the reverse exhibits vivid concentric circles of teal, blue, and violet around a deep golden center. The strike is above-average for the issue, with the only soft points seen on the right obverse stars." Prior sale at Heritage's The Eugene H. Gardner Collection of US Coins Signature Auction - New York #1213 on June 23, 2014, Lot 30474. Obtained from Jason Carter (who crossed the coin from NGC MS65) by private treaty on August 4, 2014.

O.119 Tied Finest Known. Very tough redbook variety in mint state.
Gardner. GR-1 R1. "GR-6, Only One Finer at PCGS. R.2. Frosty mint luster radiates from beneath softly blended green-gold and violet-orange hues on the reverse, while the obverse displays even golden-gray patina overall. The devices are sharply impressed and the surfaces remarkably clean, even for the Gem grade. Variety: GR-6. The second use of this obverse die, as the dentils are weakly defined. A line up from the top of the 3 in the date and light die rust on the chest readily identify the variety. Population Data (5/14): PCGS has graded only five MS65 examples and one finer. Heritage Commentary: The 1839 Capped Bust half dollar is a popular type coin. Nearly 1.4 million pieces were minted, and examples can be located in grades through MS64 with little difficulty. At the MS65 grade level, however, the issue's availability plunges dramatically; Gem pieces or finer are rarely encountered. The patient type or date collector will find this coin to be a rich reward. Provenance: Dr. Robert W. Swan and Rod Sweet Collections (Bowers and Merena, 3/2004), lot 1473," per Heritage cataloger.
