1809 50C Overton 107 III Edge MS (PCGS#39383)

The Regency Auction 47

详细说明: Easily among the FINEST KNOWN O-107s that exist, sitting squarely in the Condition Census, listed as 65,65,63,63,62 in the 5th Edition of Overton. In 1809, the mint was experimenting with different edge devices. The original edge lettering spelled out FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR. On certain varieties a series of reeds (III Edge) are seen between the words OR and HALF, as well as DOLLAR and FIFTY. O-107 is the most commonly seen variety with the III device. Highly lustrous surfaces have a brilliant satin sheen and boldly frosted texture. Subtle accents of a brilliant cartwheel swirl can be seen in a light. Every detail of this GEM is razor sharp, with full, crisp definition on both sides. Liberty's hair curls, stars, and eagle's wing feathers show exceptional, pin-point precision. The surfaces are pleasingly toned with a classic, antique pearly silver with golden-tan accents at the peripheries. Simply a stunning example! PCGS 3, NGC 2, CAC 2. There are two in MS64+ and and just three finer. Neither MS64+ has ever sold in auction, and this is not the MS64 Gardner coin that sold for $32,900. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $35,000. The Hain-Pogue-Konstantine coin, graded MS65 last sold in April 2019 for $43,200 and the single finest MS66 has never sold in auction. A spectacular, original example that will seriously delight any collector of early Capped Bust half dollars. Bidding will be fierce for this GEM! Cert. Number 34980745 PCGS # 6094.00
