1811 50C Large 8 VF35 PCGS #6096

1811 Half Dollar are found with two different date sizes: Large 8 and Small 8. The Small 8 appears on all Capped Bust Half Dollars from 1807-1810; the Large 8 became the norm from 1811 on. Two Overton varieties qualify as Large 8s: O-103 and O-104. Both varieties are fairly easily obtained. As of August 2011, PCGS listed 358 Large 8 1811 Half Dollars in their Population Report, of which nearly 100 are Uncirculated. The typical Mint State grade is MS63, followed by MS62. The 8 on the Large 8 50C appears to be slightly LARGER than the adjacent 1s. The SHAPE of the 8 is more of a "ball on ball" type. On the Small 8 variety, the 8 is SMALLER than the adjacent 1s. The graded populations of both varieties are fairly close as are the Mint State populations. As of this writing, the Large 8 shows two graded MS-66 at the top and four in MS-65. The Small Date has one MS-67, one MS-66 and one MS-65.
