The Sole Finest 1819 O-114 Half Dollar Incredible Gem Mint State Quality 1819 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-114. Rarity-3. MS-65+ (PCGS). It is difficult to overstate the significance of this Gem for both specialists and type collectors. The eye appeal is sensational, marked by blooms of pinkish iridescence at the centers and sapphire-blue shades at the borders. This color is complemented by incredibly satiny luster that dazzles in the fields and is left virtually untouched. The design elements are intricate across all regions and fully composed across the high points. Well centered and absolutely delightful to examine in-hand. As a representative of both the O-114 dies and the overall 1819 issue, this piece ranks among the most desirable survivors known. It sits at the very top of the O-114 census according to Herrman's Autumn 2020 revision, ranking a full point-and-a-half above CC#2. It is also notably finer than the Eliasberg specimen, which is graded "only" MS-64 (NGC). When we zoom out to all of the normal-date varieties for the year, this incredible standing still applies. It sits in second place among all normal-dates graded by PCGS, placed behind only the MS-66 Pogue specimen from our September 2015 sale. Whether destined for Registry Set by Overton variety or an exceptional cabinet of 19th century issues, this piece is a true prize in every respect. Provenance: From the Iron Eagle Collection. PCGS Population; 1; just 1 finer at MS-66. PCGS# 6117. NGC ID: 24FB. Click here for certification details from PCGS. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
