Description
Mint State 1820 O-105 Rarity
Tied for CC#3
1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-105. Rarity-1. Die State 105.1. Square Base Knob 2, Large Date. MS-63 (ANACS). OH.
Offered is an important condition rarity from a scarcer, more conditionally challenged issue in the early Capped Bust half dollar series. The frosty to semi-reflective surfaces show good luster beneath an overlay of predominantly golden-gray iridescence. The toning is moderately light and brightens to more vivid champagne-gold and powder blue colors at direct viewing angles. Fully struck from an ideally centered, well executed impression, we note only a few faint hairlines and similarly insignificant marks precluding a higher grade. While this is a readily obtainable die pairing in an absolute sense, the 1820-dated issue is a challenging one overall. Additionally, the Overton-105 attribution is seldom offered in any Mint State grade. Although not included therein, the offered coin is tied for CC#3 for the variety per the listing in the Spring 2024 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839. It is sure to see spirited bidding among the legion of collectors who specialize in this popular 19th century half dollar series.
