- Condition Census 1811 O-108a Half Dollar 1811 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-108a. Rarity-2. MS-65 (NGC). Superb cartwheel luster radiates from both sides, and attractive pewter-gray surfaces show beautiful blue toning at obverse and reverse centers. An exceptionally beautiful Capped Bust half dollar, about as lustrous as could be imagined and with pristine surfaces. Indeed, this Gem is nicer than most we've seen at this grade level, and irrespective of date or die pairing. Struck from a late die state with fatigue especially clear at peripheries and a substantial die crack from the rim left of the olive branch to the first letter S in STATES. Despite the die state, the details are well defined throughout. An exceptional quality specimen that would ideally represent Reich's most famous design in a type set. Ranked CC#3 for the 1811 O-108a die state in the Autumn 2022 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's Auction & Mail Bid Prices for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839. The CC#1 and 2 coins listed therein are a pair of NGC MS-66s.
