1815/2 50C MS (PCGS#6108)

The Regency Auction 41

详细说明: An important KEY date to the Capped Bust series, all 1815 halves are struck from this one overdate die marriage, and only 47,150 were struck for circulation. Today, this date is immensely scarce in all grades, and VERY RARE in any Mint State grade. Well struck from a heavily clashed state of the O-101 dies. Satiny lustrous fields are richly toned in deep slate and gunmetal, while lighter pewter, pale blue, and rose-gold accents come out when rotated in a light. A pleasing coin that shows only minor contact and no serious marks. The eye appeal is decent overall, and not lackluster or flat looking like so many usually seen. Struck after the conclusion of the War of 1812 when the economy slipped into a recession, and demand for coins was very low. The entire, albeit tiny mintage of 47,150, was delivered in January 1816. Later that day, literally hours after, one of the buildings at the mint, responsible for rolling out gold and silver planchets burned down causing a hiatus in striking silver coins again until 1817. PCGS 23, NGC 25. The last non-CAC PCGS example to sell in auction was in February 2018, when one realized $15,600. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $22,500. VERY RARE any finer, PCGS has graded just 2 in AU58+, 2 in MS61, 3 in MS63, 3 in MS64, 2 in MS64+, and one each in MS65 and MS66. A worthy coin for any Capped Bust half dollar set, you can finally fill that hole! Cert. Number 82911837 PCGS # 6108.00
