1815/2 50C MS (PCGS#6108)

The Regency Auction 31

详细说明: O-101--the only dies utilized to strike the 47,150 half dollars with the 1815 date. The KEY date to the ever popular Capped Bust half dollar series and all are overdates; the 2 is clearly seen under the 5 to the naked eye. The presently offered AU58 is a true prize for the specialist collector. Rich patina blankets the semi-satiny surfaces. The details are boldly defined, and well struck throughout, except on some stars. The entire mintage of 47,150 was struck using a single pair of dies and was delivered early in 1816. Hours after, one of the buildings that housed the planchet rolling equipment burned down, preventing gold and silver coins from being produced again until 1817 (when only half dollars were struck for depositors). Because of the low mintage, the date is constantly in demand from collectors. PCGS 21, NGC 25, CAC 5. While definitely not the same coin, there was a similar AU58 that sold in the 2014 FUN auction for $30,550. This coin sold for $22,325 in our December 2017 Regency Auction and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $27,500. While there are rarer varieties, this is a date that will always entice fierce competition especially in this fine a grade. VERY RARE in Mint State! Cert. Number 31360625 PCGS # 6108
