At the Mint, the first master die for half dollars is used for the second, and last, year, a tall, handsome design of Miss Liberty often softly struck in the center due to Mint machinery lacking sufficient force to bring up all the details on this design. -- Dr. Glenn Peterson, The Ultimate Guide for Attributing Bust Half Dollars..Displaying intense luster that most numismatists could hardly fathom on a coin from two centuries ago, both sides of this coin cartwheel spectacularly and gleam with mint frost. Bright silver brilliance at the centers of each side is framed by gold, amber, magenta, and pale blue, bold in color if confined in surface area. No marks or notable hairlines are found with studious observation, just a few minuscule abrasions, one on Libertys chin, others near the wing on the left side of the reverse and beneath the eagles neck. It takes little imagination to picture this coin, still perfect, placed on a cabinet tray a half-century after its mintage, or emerging from a dusty envelope a half century later, enhanced with ideal peripheral toning that increases its remarkable visual appeal.The dies are boldly clashed, with the first U of UNUM still apparent beneath the bust on the obverse and other less evident vestiges elsewhere. Many die cracks are seen, incorporating broad arcs and jogging peripherals. The smaller of the two arc die cracks on the obverse divides star 1 from star 2, crosses the bust and drapery, and vertically bisects the 0 of the date before touching the rim at 6:00. The larger arc has broken the die from the rim through star 6, along the bottom curve of Libertys cap, through her hair and lowest curl to the right base of the final 8. Two cracks run through star 12, one of which intersects the broader arc. Other cracks are present near the bust truncation, toward star 1 and toward the first two date digits, as well as connecting D STATES OF AMER atop the reverse. The strike is bold, though star 9 is soft at its center, a typical if minor defect. The central devices on both sides are crisply and distinctly defined.The original hubs created by John Reich for half dollars were used in only 1807 and 1808. With a tall, elegant portrait bust and distinctive long-necked eagle, this two-year subtype stands out among the series. The amended design, used beginning in 1809, solved some of the issues of localized striking softness while creating other striking flaws and production issues.This spectacular quality specimen far outpaces the Douglas Noblet example from these dies (sold in 1999 as an NGC MS-64, later offered by Heritage as PCGS MS-64 in January 2014) as well as the MS-65 (PCGS) sold in Heritages 2000 FUN sale described as "finest known." A dipped white NGC MS-66 tops the NGC census among specimens of this Overton variety, and was sold in April 2015 for $25,850, the most recent of its several offerings in the last decade. The Overton-Parsley census of 67-66-65-65-64 suggests that though there may be a small group from these dies that have survived in Mint State grades, the D. Brent Pogue specimen is finest among them. Among all PCGS-certified half dollars from the inception of the Capped Bust half dollar type in 1807 until the introduction of the new Liberty Seated design in 1839, only a single piece (dated 1833) has ever been graded finer than MS-67.
