- 1823 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-101a. Rarity-1. Patched 3. AU-58 (PCGS). A beautiful near-Mint example of a perennially popular Overton number. Ringed in peripheral blue-gray and sandy-tan, both sides exhibit softer toning in silver-apricot toward the centers. The strike is well centered and pleasingly bold throughout, most design elements sharply rendered and full. Smooth in hand with plenty of satiny mint luster shining forth as the surfaces rotate under a light. The Overton reference notes that the difference between the Broken 3 and Patched 3 varieties is that a small punch was sunk in the die at the junction of the two halves of the 3 to strengthen the connection on the Patched 3 variety. Examples of the 1823 O-101a are plentiful in an absolute sense, as the Rarity-1 rating makes clear, but the presently offered AU-58 is scarce from a condition standpoint. PCGS# 6133. NGC ID: 24FJ.
