- Vivid Target-Toned 1818/7 O-101a Half Dollar High Condition Censu 1818/7 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-101a. Rarity-1. Large 8. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. A supremely attractive coin, both sides exhibit bullseye toning in vivid cobalt blue, reddish-rose and champagne-apricot colors -- certainly the result of long-term storage in a numismatic album. The surfaces are lustrous with a satin texture that is just a few trivial marks away from an even higher grade. Well centered, the strike has imparted uniform denticulation around both sides as well as sharp detail to all design elements. Clash marks in the obverse field and at Liberty's ear as are made, a faint planchet drift mark (also as made) behind the cap perhaps the most useful provenance marker. This regal Choice Mint State example is tied for CC#3 for the 1818/7 O-101a die state based on the census listing in the Autumn 2020 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's AMBPR for Bust half dollars. The finest early die state 1818/7 O-101 coins known to Herrman are certified MS-64. A breathtakingly beautiful and conditionally rare coin that will appeal to advanced Bust half dollar collectors as well as toning enthusiasts.
