1820/19 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-102. Rarity-1. Curl Base 2. MS-63 (PCGS).，This is a handsome half dollar with warm olive- and apricot-gray patina to both sides. Glints of more vivid iridescence are evident around the peripheries, as are flashes of silvery brilliance at the reverse border. The strike is bold to sharp throughout and the smooth satiny texture would seem to warrant consideration at an even higher grade level. Overton-102 is the only die marriage that corresponds to the 1820/19 Curl Base 2 <em>Guide Book</em> variety. It is popular with early half dollar enthusiasts due to the bold naked eye overdate feature; remnants of the 19 are plainly evident within the primary digits 20. Survivors are available in an absolute sense, which means that many collectors are able to own and appreciate this variety. While a number of Mint State coins are included in the extant population, they remain the province of advanced numismatists. Just shy of Condition Census standing, the present example would do nicely in any high grade collection.，PCGS# 6126. NGC ID: 24FE.，PCGS Population: 8; 4 finer (MS-65 finest).，From Heritages sale of August 2011, lot 3937.
