Lot 1320
1824, 4 over 4. . O-110a, die break AM to right wing. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck and frosty with lovely light gold toning. On this later die state, the top of the 4 is barely visible to the left of the top of the prominent 4. This is undoubtedly among the finest known examples as the Condition Census in Overton's third edition is listed as (65, 65, 65, 64, 62). This exceptional coin is crisply detailed in the centers with the usual softness (as seen on this variety) on the peripheral stars. The surfaces are obviously original and each side is covered with dusky gray patina to dappled golden brown of rich color. Strong mint luster underlies the toning and is a dominant feature on this outstanding Gem O-110a half dollar. Pop 4; none finer at NGC .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
