- Condition Census Gem 1814 O-103 Half Dollar 1814 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-103. Rarity-1. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. This is a really exceptional Gem with remarkably pristine surfaces. A subtle golden iridescence complements the radiant luster that blankets each side. The central elements remain bold despite fascinating evidence of die fatigue in most areas. Clashmarks are apparent in the fields, but evidence of actual handling is absent. This piece sits nicely in the lower ranks of the Condition Census for the O-103 dies, and just 7 have been graded finer by PCGS across all 1814 varieties. A very easy die marriage to attribute, the 1814 O-103 displays a heavy vertical die defect (as struck) on the reverse from the outside of the eagle's left (facing) wing to the scroll below the letter E. While this variety is plentiful in an absolute sense, pre-1820 Capped Bust Halves as a group are much scarcer and more challenging to locate in the finest Mint State grades than the common die marriages from the late 1820s and 1830s. PCGS Population (all varieties): 14; 7 finer. PCGS# 6105. NGC ID: 24F3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
