Description

1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-111b. Rarity-5. Large Stars, 50/20, Bearded Goddess. VF Details--Graffiti (PCGS).

A charming and attractive example despite the assigned graded. And old, curving scrape adorns the left obverse field while a more subtle mark hides below Liberty's bust. A rim disturbance is also most prominent at 5 o'clock on the reverse. The surfaces are otherwise nicely worn and toned in deep slate-grey and deep twilight shades. Overton-111b is the popular -- and scarce -- late state of this die marriage, the reverse with the 50/20 blunder and the obverse with a prominent die crack joining Liberty's chin to the top of the bust and continuing irregularly to its base above the digit 1 in the date. With plenty of sharp detail and a relatively pleasing appearance, this coin has much to offer the Bust half dollar variety enthusiast.

PCGS# 39357.
