3187: 1817 50C O-113a, R.4, MS64 PCGS. Ex: Link. There
1817 50C O-113a, R.4, MS64 PCGS. Ex: Link. There is a light, descending die crack through UNITED on the reverse, and a heavy crack curves through the date and star 13 on the obverse. This lustrous near-Gem is the finest O-113a example attributed at PCGS, and only nine 1817 halves of any variety are graded numerically finer at that service (7/20). Lustrous surfaces yield attractive blue and lavender toning through the obverse margins and much of the reverse, while the central obverse exhibits warmer peach-gold color. A touch of strike softness on the hair curls around Liberty's brow does not detract. Eye appeal is outstanding for the grade. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
