Description
1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-112. Rarity-1. Die State 112.1. Large Stars, 50/20. AU-55 (NGC).
One of the most popular varieties in the series, the 1807 O-112 features the famed 50/20C engraving blunder that first appeared on the famed Bearded Goddess. Clearly as the Mint transitioned from the Robert Scot Draped Bust design to the John Reich Capped Bust type, there were some adjustments to be made, particularly the addition of the denomination to the reverse for the first time in a decade. The repunched denomination is evident under light magnification. Predominantly light silver gray with accents of gold, this frosty Choice AU example has a lot for the collector. While the most widely available of the four die pairings used to strike the 750,500 Capped Bust half dollars in 1807, it is scarce in this grade and under strong demand from first year of issue type collectors. A great collector coin.
PCGS# 6086. NGC ID: 24EN.
From the Tom Hyland Collection.
