FROM THE PERFECTION COLLECTION OF CAPPED BUST HALF DOLLARS This GORGEOUS GEM O-103 is among the VERY FINEST KNOWN of the O-103 die pairing. Listed in the Stephen Herrman AMBPR as an O-103'a', the "a model" being defined by a thin die crack at the base of D ST. On the present example this die crack is barely visible, seen only with the aid of a glass. In the listing, this coin ranks at the top of the Census, as it was graded MS66* by NGC when it made its last auction appearance in 2009. Tied for SECOND HIGHEST of all 1812 die pairings at PCGS with just a single coin graded finer! Dramatic old album toning created a bold halo of rainbow toning that frames both sides of this lustrous GEM. Bold swirling cartwheel luster rolls smoothly and unimpeded over the sensationally clean surfaces. Struck from clashed dies, there are some minor unlisted die cracks on the lower obverse near the date which adds to the exceptional charm and visual allure of this "plus"-graded GEM. Ex Kaufman Collection; Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Heritage, April 2009, lot 2411 (as NGC MS66*). PCGS 5, NGC 6, CAC 4. There are two MS65+s graded by PCGS and just a single MS67 finer. The other MS65+ sold most recently in the 2021 ANA auction for $36,000. With just the Col. Green-Eric Newman- Bob Simpson PCGS MS67 CAC graded higher, a coin that realized $96,000 in September 2020, this GEM will certainly bring a strong price when it crosses the block and we would not be shocked if the $42,500 PCGS Price Guide value was exceeded when the hammer finally falls. Type and date collectors take heed of this VERY IMPORTANT opportunity. Good luck! Cert. Number 20296150 PCGS # 6103
