For the Bust Half Specialists

Just got back on behalf of a friend an 1823 O-109 half in AU50 NGC. Listed as an R.5+ variety, this piece just misses out on the Condition Census. Beautiful antique olive-gold patina with luster in the recesses and a sharp strike. I don't think he'll let it go, unfortunately.

Congrats! That is a tough die marriage and a nice example. Looks properly graded too.

Very original coin!

Not all the nice CC coins are in slabs. The are still some "antique" collectors that prefer their coins in the raw.

I only recently picked up an 1823 O-109 in PCGS-25 (CAC). That's a very tough coin to locate!

The PCGS pop report lists 12. The PCGC Coinfacts site lists a population of 2. My coin is a PCGS VF-25 which is listed in the PCGS pop report but not on Coinfacts.
