1817 50C MS66 S NGC. O-110a, R.2 . A triple denticle
<B>1817 50C MS66 <img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10> NGC.</B></I> O-110a, R.2 . A triple denticle above star 13 attributes the variety. A die crack from the top of the cap joins all stars on the right as it runs to the bottom of the curls and bust, and a fine crack runs through ERICA downward touching points of two lower arrowheads and then goes through 50 C. to edge, confirming the later die state. This particular piece is perhaps the finest known of the variety, as Stephen Herrman, in his <I>Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars, 1794-1839,</B></I> lists as the highest graded an NGC MS64 from the Bowers and Merena January 1999 Rarities/Noblet Sale.<BR><BR> This beautiful Premium Gem with Star displays an array of cobalt-blue, orange-gold, rose, and mauve on nicely preserved surfaces that exude pleasing luster. A powerful strike manifests itself in sharp definition on all of the design elements, which are well centered on the planchet. Most of the dentilation shows on both sides. A super coin! Census: 1 in 66 S, 1 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
