The below duplicates need to find a new home. No room for them. These are from my personal collection and all are PCGS-graded.
Price includes shipping, hi res images. 5 day return privilege. Check, MO, cash, PP no-fee or add 3%. First to commit gets one or all.
1813 O.101 50/UNI variety XF45, $xxxx. ON HOLD
From Sheridan Downey, 8/8/12 (pd $1485). Very strong UNI!
A popular variety, the "50C/UNI" gets its name from the obviously botched lower reverse. In one of the most spectacular errors, the engraver (Reich) lost his point of reference and punched UNI at the 5 o'clock position (instead of 8:30) before realizing his blunder. Scraping, and later lapping, was done but traces remained as this example shows.
Very original, nice surfaces, attractive toning, well struck.
1815/2 O.101 AU55, $17,500.
Was NGC AU58. Sold March 2012, Baltimore Stack's lot# 4096.
This conservatively-graded key to the CBH series is an overdate, and one of three denominations minted in 1815 (the others were the quarter and half eagle). The obverse die was prepared in 1812 but not used until 1815. The reverse die was used in 1815 only.
Catalog description: "Soft dove gray patina blankets both sides and mingles with warmer olive-gray at the borders. More vivid undertones of golden-orange and powder blue iridescence are also discernible around the peripheries as the coin dips into a light. Outwardly smooth, with only a trace of high point wear confirming a short stint in active circulation. The strike is well centered and bold to sharp in virtually all areas. Mint records show a production figure of just 47,150 pieces for this key overdate, far and away the lowest output of any date in the design type, with production figures of well over one million pieces for virtually every other date in the series. Choice and appealing, and a piece that holds up well to careful in-hand examination."
1821 O.101 AU53, $xxx. SOLD
Was ICG AU55 cert# 2566262301
This desirable early bust half has lovely, colorful album toning. 1821 is a tough year with just seven die marriages. (If this doesn't sell I'll just put it back in my collection. It's actually prettier than my AU55.)
1823 O.104 XF45, $325.
Neat machine doubling to Libert's chin/neck/chest. Pleasing rose/gray tone. AU luster. Reholdered in PCGS's latest slab (nice!).
1830 O.123 Large 0 Redbook variety AU55, $xxx. SOLD
Wow! A crowd pleaser. This is just about as perfect as an AU bust half gets. Intense luster, nearly perfect surfaces, sharp/full strike and creamy steel surfaces with subtle rim toning, both sides. I had it regraded at the Anaheim ANA, fully expecting AU58.
