<B>1812.</B> <B>PCGS graded MS-66.</B> Bold strike. Mostly untoned with a nice even hint of gold toning. O-110, R.1. A pair of crossbars extend far into the right &#40;facing&#41; wing and attribute the Overton variety. Golden-brown and natural light silver gray color dominates both sides and gives added force to the creamy luster centers. Potent cartwheel luster rolls unencumbered across the gorgeous surfaces. The major devices are relatively well struck, although a few stars do not possess complete central definition on the lower right. Also the 181 of the date shows minor weakness. Among the finest known examples of this date.<B> Pop 9 with 1 in MS-67</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 6100&#41;</B>. <BR><BR>The third &#34;style&#34; of Reich&#39;s capped bust left Half Dollar was issued from 1812 to 1817.
