- 1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-123a. Rarity-5+. Square Base 2, Small 8s, Large Letters. EF-45 (PCGS). Blundered Edge Lettering: edge lettering doubled. An intriguing example of this scarce and challenging die marriage. Both sides are boldly to sharply defined overall, as befits the assigned grade, with pretty iridescent toning in silver-lilac, powder blue and champagne-pink. This is an intermediate die state between the exceedingly rare 1828 Overton-123 attribution and its late state O-123a. The obverse rim break outside stars 5 and 6 is present, but light, while on the reverse there is none but the faintest trace of the corrugated imprint between the eagle's right wing and tail. Qualifying as Condition Census for the O-123a die state per the Herrman listing (Autumn 2019), the doubled edge lettering and impressive provenance further enhance the appeal of this highly desirable 1828 half dollar. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier ex Superior's sale of the H.W. Blevins Collection of Early Half Dollars and Silver Dollars, June 1988, lot 3488. PCGS# 508130.
