- Gem 1819 O-112 Half Dollar
Tied for Finest Known of the Variety
1819 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-112. Rarity-3. MS-65 (PCGS).
Attractive and original gunmetal and olive toning is seen on the obverse, while the reverse displays a colorful blend of teal and golden iridescence that is most vibrant at the borders. The strike is remarkably sharp on all the devices and the luster remains satiny and undisturbed.
We first handled this piece over seven years ago in our May 2013 sale when it was then newly discovered in a New England Museum. At MS-65 (PCGS), this lovely Gem is tied with the very finest seen from the 1819 O-112 dies. It also ranks high when compared with the entire 1819 issue, as just two coins have been graded finer by PCGS across all varieties.
Provenance: From the Dazzling Rarities Collection. Earlier from a New England Museum; our sale of May 2013, lot 348; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' sale of May 2017, lot 234; Heritage's sale of August 2017, lot 3972.
PCGS Population (all varieties): 4; 2 finer.
PCGS# 6117. NGC ID: 24FB.
